go beyond the corner of Bernie Ave and Parramatta Road.
All NOC, Coach 2000 and general charter busses are marshalled
in Bernie Ave and Bachell Sts.
Hire cars and taxi's pick up in Bernie Avenue. The only exception are Wheel

granted accreditation to pick up
dignitaries from Aus or abroad.
As for North Gate I don't know the arrangements.
One thing that is absolutely sure is: go by train as it is definitely easier
