Party Members  

All Party members are welcome to attend State Conference. Members who are not credentialed as delegates are able to register as Observers, and attend to watch proceedings across the weekend. These party members will not be allowed on the conference floor but will be able to view State Conference from the observers area.

Online registrations have now closed. 

Community Observers

Can children attend? 

All Party Members were invited to express their interest in accessing child minding services during State Conference. As there was only very minimal interest, a creche service will not be offered this year. We thank members for their understanding.

Dietary Requirements  

For guests with a pre-advised dietary requirement please make yourself known to staff who will direct you to a separate dietary table.  

Every effort will be made to cater to dietary requirements advised. As Esplanade Hotel does not have a specific kitchen allocated to allergen production, they cannot guarantee the complete omission of products such as nuts, gluten and traces of dairy products etc.  

Sunday 9 November – Limited Access to Conference Venue  

Due to the 2025 Revo Fitness Fremantle Running Festival. 

Please note that the Revo Fitness Fremantle Running Festival will be taking place in the surrounding area of the hotel on Sunday 9 November, which may cause some disruption to local traffic and access routes. A number of road closures will be in place from 4:30am to 11:00am. 

We recommend allowing extra time for your journey to the venue on Sunday morning. 

We strongly encourage attendees who are able to do so, to use public transport. The DRIVO Secure Car Park will remain open, with entry and exit via Norfolk Street. Collie Street Car Park will also be accessible. 

If you have accessibility requirements, please note that entry to the venue can be arranged via a back entrance on Collie Street. Please access Collie St, by going down Packenham Street off Phillimore Street. A member of our volunteer team will meet you, check you in, and direct you to the conference floor.
