Hisense Arena is located on Brunton Avenue in the Melbourne Park Precinct. Public transport access to the venue can be gained most effectively by catching either a number 70 tram from the Melbourne CBD, or the train stopping at Richmond Train Station. The tram stop, 7C, is right outside Hisense Arena, and Richmond train station is an approximately 13 minute walk down Swan Street.

 

The State Netball Hockey Centre (SNHC) is located at 10 Brens Drive, Parkville. A number 55 tram stopping right outside the venue is the most effective means of public transport to this venue.

 

All the information regarding public transport can be found at www.metlinkmelbourne.com.au.

 

Both venues have car parking spaces, subject to availability. There will be a cost for parking at both venues so we recommend utilising public transport to get there.

 

 

All volunteers not required to assist with the opening ceremony are encouraged to come down as a spectator to welcome the countries to the championships. Your event accreditation will get you access free of charge.

 

 

 

All volunteers are required to wear either black dress pants for men, or black dress pants or skirt for women. An event top will be provided to all volunteers. If you have not given your t-shirt size to Gymnastics Australia please do so as soon as possible. Black shoes are also a must.

Gymnastics Australia is hosting a Sports Science and Sports Medicine Conference on Thursday 29^th April and Friday 30^th April.

At present the following countries have sent their definitive entries for the championships: 

We are still awaiting registrations from China and Hong Kong.

 

 

Volunteer rostering is currently under way and will be released at the end of the month.

 

 

Due to a poor definitive entry registration by the attending countries, the Pacific Rim organising committee has regrettably had to cancel all acrobatic gymnastics sessions at the championships. The sessions will not be replaced by additional disciplines.

 

 

The next Volunteer Newsletter will be out in March. If there are any questions, please feel free to contact Gymnastics Australia on (03) 9271-0500.
