Tats Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Hi guys, Hoping you can help me out with some local knowledge! Some of my colleagues will be coming down to Canberra in April for a 3 day team meeting and I've been tasked with setting things up on this end. I'm sorting out accommodation and dinner venues and stuff but there's a couple of things that I would love some input on from people who know the place: Need a room for us to actually have the meeting. I could just book a conference room in the hotel but let's face it, those things are as dry and boring as decroded old dog turds no matter where they are. Is there anywhere more interesting that I could pay to have a nicer room, or somewhere more fun? Also need ideas for a half-day activity. Again something fun for a bunch of young-ish people but has to be "work appropriate" - let's say somewhere between a PG and M rating. Would appreciate any suggestions that you have!

RosieR34 Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Go-karting for half day Meeting over lunch or if it's a really long meeting then a conference room might be best. I don't think many places would allow couple hours for a meeting. But casino? Tradies? No idea Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/441297-team-meeting-in-canberra-where-to-go/#findComment-7244634 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinista32 Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 (edited) 1. Perhaps the tower for a meeting room. Should be cheapish as they don't get much business anymore 2. The zoo and Activity 3. Paintball ? and then lunch/dinner at rose cottage Edited March 31, 2014 by Sinista32 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/441297-team-meeting-in-canberra-where-to-go/#findComment-7244640 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tats Posted March 31, 2014 Author Share Posted March 31, 2014 Thanks guys. Richard does the Tower actually have meeting rooms? That would be a laugh for sure!

cpark Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Extremely late one but something to keep in mind for future of anyone needs. I manage a number of commercial buildings around town and have a full conference centre in one of them at Barton. Have heaps of rooms (big and small) and happy to look after any fellow SAUers.

GTRKat Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Hyatt is good for meeting rooms and does reasonable catering as well. +1 for go karting as team building! Or what about roller skating or even one of those new trampolining places? Haha depends on the team I guess. Let us know where you're staying and if you need dinner/drinks ideas. Richard, Rose Cottage is the ass end of nowhere!! Pretty isolated from main accommodation areas too!
