Green light for new-look Adelaide Convention Centre
Adelaide Convention Centre is to be expanded and redeveloped in two stages at a cost of $350 million.
The first stage will see expansion of the existing facility; stage two of the redevelopment will see the replacement of the existing Plenary Building (home of the original Centre in 1987) with a multi-purpose, facility with plenary capacity of up to 3,500 seats.
The second stage is scheduled for completion in June 2017
Chief executive Alec Gilbert said the state government’s investment recognised the vital importance of the Adelaide Convention Centre (ACC) as a major catalyst for tourism and economic growth in South Australia.
“Notwithstanding its success to date, the ACC operates in a highly competitive global convention and exhibition industry which is required to provide larger and more multi-purpose space with the latest in facility quality and service,†Gilbert said.
The design for the redeveloped centre was provided by Adelaide-based international architectural firm Woods Bagot in association with London-based architect and Vx3 founder Larry Oltmanns
