Background

The convention centre proposal is the first of Council’s ‘8 Big Ideas’ and is a catalyst for the Council’s economic growth agenda.

We believe the proposal will:

  • provide a good economic return to the city for the level of investment
  • allow the city to maintain and grow its share of the convention market in the face of tougher competition from other cities
  • attract a range of different format conferences that the city has traditionally not been able to host
  • overall act as a catalyst for more economic growth.
