ProPEL The conference will take place in Queensland Australia, primarily in Brisbane with an afternoon in the Gold Coast. Conference sessions will take place at Queensland University of Technology, Griffith University, & Bond University, July 8-11, 2026.
Location
Brisbane, Queensland, Australia
Planetary Practice will be held in Magandjin-Meanjin of Yagara and Turrbal Country, now known as Brisbane. Magandjin-Meanjin is immersed in one of the most biodiverse regions of the world, surrounded by rainforest hinterlands, coastal environments, and a short flight from the Great Barrier Reef – the world’s largest coral reef system. Brisbane is a unique place, with a natural environment unlike anywhere else and the world’s oldest continuous human culture. However it is highly impacted by planetary systems, witnessing devastating fires, floods and cyclonic events in recent years, as well as colonisation, mass-migration, economic and cultural globalisation.
Brisbane is one of Australia’s most popular tourist destinations and is Australia’s most biodiverse and greenest city. Brisbane’s attractions include the Queensland Cultural Centre (which includes the Queensland Art Gallery, the Gallery of Modern Art and the State Library of Queensland), South Bank Parklands, the City Botanic Gardens, the Mount Coot-tha Botanic Gardens, the Brisbane Riverwalk, Moreton Bay and the D’Aguilar National Park. Brisbane’s inner-city neighbourhoods are known for their historic Queenslander houses.
