Further information available on the Sydney Buses website
By Car
There is no parking available on the SCEGGS site. SCEGGS is in Forbes St. Forbes on the Southern side of Williams Street - cars cannot enter Forbes street from Williams St (pedestrian access only via stairs). Enter Forbes St from Liverpool Street.
Note: Parking in the local area is time limited and strictly policed with steep fines if you overstay.
However, parking is available in a Private Car park in Riley Street about 5 minutes walk from the school. [ Wilson Parking ]
After leaving your car in the Riley St Car park you can take the sting out of having to pay for parking by buying yourself an excellent coffee from one of the many great cafes as you walk to the school via Stanley Street.
From the Airport
The school is not far from the centre of Sydney - a taxi from Kingsford Smith Airport to the school should take about 30 - 60 minutes (depending on the traffic) and cost around $50AUD. If you plan to arrive on the morning of the conference, allow at least an hour travel time as you will be travelling into the City at peak (rush) hour.
