HISTORY
Following extensive internal renovations QCCC Brookfield opened for guests in 2005. As the closest specialist school camps facility to Brisbane City the facility hosts hundreds of schools camps, music camps, leadership and church retreats annually. QCCC Brookfield is ideal for Brisbane school camp programs offering exclusivity and high quality facilities and catering. Its proximity to Brisbane Forest Park and D’aguilar National Park also provides a tranquil environment with Outdoor Education options. Schools appreciate the private and professional welcome afforded them in this unique part of Brisbane city.
LOCATION
Located a short 25 minutes ride from the Brisbane CBD, leafy Brookfield is a prestige suburb boasting large acreage and tranquil horse properties. Though close to the city, Brookfield is so rural it even boasts its own annual show. In the heart of this tranquil suburb QCCC Brookfield provides the perfect place for an urban Brisbane retreat. Sitting just south of the D’Aguilar National Park, the centre is surrounded by a lush, peaceful forest allowing guests to escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. A compelling range of Brisbane City Attractions can be easily accessed from QCCC Brookfield and the campsite is a favourite with country schools accessing all Queensland’s capital has to offer.
ACCOMMODATION
A comfortable Brisbane camp experience is assured with our modern and comfortable accommodation. QCCC Brookfield can accommodate up to 124 guests. All of our rooms are en-suited and enjoy reverse-cycle, split-system air-conditioning. Unusually for an urban school camp facility the venue does not have any bunk beds, only single beds. It’s the perfect place to relax and unwind after a busy day of activities.
MEETING ROOMS
There are 12 meeting rooms at QCCC Brookfield that can host groups of various sizes and for a range of different functions. The meeting rooms are allocated based on the size of your group as well as the type of meeting space required. The quantity and variety of meeting space is ideal for leadership and spiritual retreats and music camps in Brisbane city.
