The Corporate Law Teachers Association Conference 2006 will be held in the rooms of historic Customs House.

Customs House is a heritage listed building which was built in 1886 and opened in 1889. Its Corinthian architecture distinguishes it from the modern surrounds of high rise buildings. It stands directly on a picturesque bend of the Brisbane River. It was the focal point for port activities for many years.

The University of Queensland took over the lease to Customs House in 1991 after the building had fallen into disuse in 1988. UQ restored the interior of the building to reflect its stately architecture to the tune of 7.5 million dollars. It is now a popular choice for many events and boasts several luxurious rooms highly sought after for conferences. The history of the building marries perfectly with the age-old pursuit of knowledge powered by academic innovation. Customs House is a continuing monument to the rich history of Brisbane in a myriad of ways.

The Conference will be held in the classic Long Room for the Plenary Sessions and the Lady Thiess Room for the parallel sessions. See pictures
