A Bundaberg conference,
on one site.
For a Bundaberg conference, the brief usually comes back to whether the venue, the delegates and the dinner all sit on one site. At Burnett Riverside Hotel they do. Three function rooms taking up to 120 theatre combined, 44 hotel rooms upstairs at a negotiated corporate rate, full AV and in-house catering by H2O. Day delegate packages cover room hire, AV, morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea in one rate.
One-site conferences in Bundaberg
For most regional Queensland conference briefs, the choice comes down to splitting venue from accommodation, or running everything on one site. The split brief works when the venue's near the airport and the accommodation is near the venue. In Bundaberg it usually means two CBD locations a 10-minute drive apart, two contracts, and a logistics shuffle morning and evening.
The one-site brief works when the venue, the rooms and the dining team are upstairs of each other. At Burnett Riverside that's literally the layout: function rooms on the ground floor, H2O Restaurant & Bar between them, 44 hotel rooms above. Delegates can walk from the closing keynote into the foyer drinks into the lift home in under three minutes.
The one-site case sharpens further on:
- Multi-day residential conferences — same room each night; same breakfast; same coffee machine.
- Mixed in-person + interstate fly-ins — Bundaberg Airport 9.5 km away; same-site means no second taxi after the flight.
- Concurrent breakouts — the Burnett Room for plenary, Quay and Vue for two parallel streams, all on the same floor.
- Late-running agendas — if Day 1 runs over, delegates aren't driving 15 minutes back to a different hotel.
Three rooms, every configuration
The full capacities matrix lives on the Functions page; the headline:
- The Burnett Room — 136 m². Up to 70 theatre, 60 banquet, 48 classroom, 60 cocktail. The plenary room for full-scale conferences.
- The Quay Room — 48 m². Up to 25 theatre, 20 banquet, 18 classroom, 30 cocktail. Breakout or smaller meeting; configured without permanent AV for the lower price point.
- The Vue Room — 48 m². Same capacities as Quay; permanent AV installed. Second concurrent breakout, or the streamed-keynote room.
- Combined — up to 120 theatre, 120 banquet, 84 classroom, 120 cocktail. The full-floor option for a single large session.
Cabaret, long-table and U-shape setups also available; long-tables work well for executive retreats and board sessions.
Day delegate packages and AV
Day delegate packages bundle room hire, AV, morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea into a per-delegate rate, with a half-day option for shorter agendas. The full PDF (rates + inclusions) downloads from the Functions page.
AV included as standard in the Burnett and Vue Rooms: projector, screen, wireless microphone, lectern and complimentary high-speed WiFi. Quay Room is configured without permanent projection (the cost-savings room) — we'll fit AV on request. Additional kit — extra microphones, live-stream rigs, video conferencing, stage lighting — spec'd against your run sheet at the planning stage.
Catering by the H2O kitchen on the ground floor: working lunches, hot lunches, plated dinners, canapé receptions, breakfast packages for residential conferences. Dietary handling and allergens managed upfront.
Delegate accommodation, direct-billed
44 hotel rooms across nine room types — corporate-standard Deluxe Queen and Deluxe King; Riverview rooms for executive delegates; Family Studio, Loft Apartment and Two Bedroom Apartment for long-stay or accompanied delegates needing a kitchenette.
Block holds at a negotiated corporate rate. Delegates book direct against your company code; we manage the rooming list at the property end. Block size confirmed at contract signing; additional capacity held against registration if requested.
Direct billing via the Travellers Group corporate account — one invoice covers venue hire, catering, AV, accommodation and any incidentals. Cost codes, PO references and PTSS-compliant invoicing all standard. The same account covers stays at the other four Travellers properties (Rockhampton, Emerald, Dubbo, Orange) if your delegates are touring multiple regional centres.
