Melbourne — Glen Waverley
Aligned to the south-east manufacturing corridor. Positions the group close to the highest density of customer sites for D1–D2.
Gold Coast — Coolangatta Beach
Weekend positioning on the Gold Coast reduces travel pressure on working days and provides good flight availability via Brisbane Airport into Adelaide.
Adelaide — Tonsley
Focused customer engagement block. Tonsley is the primary industrial precinct — hotel is within the MAB Circuit area for minimal transfer time.
Sydney — Penrith
Optimised for Western Sydney customers. Penrith base covers the Western Sydney manufacturing belt efficiently. D9 includes Consonic internal meetings.
Weekend Positioning Rationale
Positioning on the Gold Coast over the D3–D4 weekend serves two purposes: it removes the MEL → QLD leg from the working week entirely, and places the group within easy driving distance of Brisbane Airport for the Monday evening VA1398 to Adelaide. This preserves Monday as a full customer-facing day in Queensland.
