The Brisbane Truck Show features plenty of options for a coffee, a beer, a snack or a good hearty meal.
There are cafes located at the back of each of the main halls. Merivales Café is situated on the Ground Floor behind the escalators. Olio’s is located at the Grey St entrance and there is a café serving kid friendly food in the family zone. There are baristas located strategically all around the venue (and on quite a number of exhibitors stands).
Most importantly, the Plaza Terrace is located on the Plaza level. If you haven’t been there before it’s time you did. This must be one of the best known meeting places in Australia for the transport industry, even though it’s only open every two years. If you can’t find your mate in the exhibition halls, that’s because they’ve found a cosy corner to have a yarn on the Plaza Terrace.
Please note the BCEC is a cashless venue.

Professional photographers and/or journalists must obtain a Media Accreditation pass. Visitors are generally welcome to take photos at the Brisbane Truck Show and to share them on social media with your friends, provided you observe any signage prohibiting photography and filming. However (close-up/detailed) photos of products must only be taken with the express permission of the owner/exhibitor. If permission is not granted then the Event Managers reserve the right to:
– Remove the offender from the show. No refunds will be granted.
– Insist that all unauthorised photos are deleted.
Entry to the show is granted on the condition that these rules are abided by.
In 2025, the show will again host a dedicated Merchandise Alley featuring your favourite brands in something akin to sideshow alley.
