Driving & Arrival:

In New Plymouth:

++ As you come into town on Highway 3 / Northgate, it's best to turn down Hobson St from the main. Follow this to Hendrie Street. You can either park here, or follow the curving roadway leading off to the right from the end of Hendrie, which will take you to the accommodation unit parking.

++ From Hendrie St, follow the other WITT driveway that goes up the hill, and you will see the lecture theatre in front of you. The entrance is to the left.

++ Registration is at 12 noon and will be at the entrance to the Lecture Theatre. Do not go to WITT's main / front entrance (20 Bell St).

++ Try and arrive to register by 12.30 at the latest so that we can process everybody and get the first session started. This includes allowing enough time to locate your rooms and drop off bags beforehand if staying at WITT.
