Accommodation Providers The Accommodation FA (ACM) delivery model is to provide an in-house reservations model with contracting underway with constituents. This delivery model will provide a high level of service for both internal and external stakeholders. ACM will continue to engage with accommodation operators in the Gold Coast and event cities Brisbane, Cairns and Townsville, regarding the securing of various accommodation opportunities for GC2018. All contracted accommodation has been inspected to understand the accommodation offering and suitability to GC2018 constituents including accessibility requirements. A draft allocation plan has been finalised, taking into consideration current contracted room inventory, constituent needs and importantly transport requirements. An accommodation reservation system has been procured and will be available to clients in October 2016.
