Green Mining Conference 2026
Details about the conference venue and accommodations options will be available soon.
Wollongong is a vibrant coastal city just over an hour south of Sydney, framed by golden beaches and a dramatic escarpment that together create an impressive backdrop for any event. Delegates can enjoy coastal walks, ocean pools, cycling paths and sweeping ocean views by day, then discover a lively dining, arts and small-bar scene in the compact, walkable city centre by night.

The video shows sweeping aerial views of Wollongong’s coastline and beaches, framed by the Illawarra escarpment. Waves crash onto the shore, surfers ride the breaks, and coastal walks wind through rainforest and clifftops. Scenes shift to Wollongong city and the University of Wollongong’s Innovation Campus, set on the waterfront. People walk through the grounds, with modern buildings, open spaces and ocean views creating a striking setting. The film highlights the Illawarra’s mix of natural beauty, community life and research excellence, ending with a sunset over the Pacific Ocean. Background music plays throughout, with no spoken narration.
