Drive and park
Crown has over 5,000 car parking spaces in two accessible parking areas: the basement car park under the main site (enter via Whiteman Street between Loading areas 1 and 2) and the West End multi-level car park, with entrances from Kings Way (both North and South), Whiteman Street, Haig Street and Southbank Boulevard. The basement carpark will be the most convenient to the Palladium, but as the basement is likely to fill quickly, attendees may alernatively need to use the West End carpark. Parking for those with limited mobility is provided in both the multi-level and basement carparks, in various locations adjacent to lift lobbies. Crown Car park map (PDF)

What should I wear?
The Diversity@work Awards naturally attract a diverse audience: people from community, private and government sectors, people from numerous cultural backgrounds, people from all kinds of diverse backgrounds. At past Diversity@work Awards presentations, there has been a corresponding diversity of styles of dress including national dress. We are proud of this tradition and encourage you to wear what you feel comfortable in, keeping in mind that it is a dinner event. While there is no strict dress code, if you want a rule of thumb, we imagine most attendees will probably wear something in the range of smart business to cocktail/evening wear.
How long will the event run?
Guests will arrive from 6:30 with the event to start at 7pm. We estimate that the evening will finish around midnight.
