Brisbane putting on a show
A new convention centre currently under construction at the RNA Showgrounds in Brisbane has been officially launched to the industry.
“It is the only convention and exhibition centre currently under construction in Australia with work set to be completed by December,” said Jonathan Tunny, chief executive of Showgrounds owner and operator, RNA.
The Royal International Convention Centre (RICC) is part of stage one of a $2.9 billion, 15-year RNA Showgrounds regeneration project, which will incorporate commercial, retail and residential components, plus a new hotel.
“It represents Australia’s largest brownfield development, and is the most significant urban renewal project in Brisbane since South Bank,” said Tunny.
“It will sit pride of place on the 22-hectare RNA Showgrounds site, which is Brisbane’s biggest indoor/outdoor events venue attracting a million visitors a year.”
Tunny said the RICC offered Australian-first features including a custom-built operable ceiling grid system which can cut exhibition set-up time by up to a day.
“Our catering facilities will be world-class and feature 12 of the latest designed self-cooking centres, capable of serving 2,600 plates in 40 minutes,” he said.
