Mackay Convention Centre nears completion

Events / Design / Venues

The roof on the Mackay Convention Centre has been raised five months ahead of the new facility's completion date.

Moved into place ahead of North Queensland's wet season by a massive crane, the roof is made up of 180 sections. The $29 million centre is due to be finished in April with an official opening two months later.

Attached to Mackay's existing entertainment centre, the venue will have an 1,800-seat capacity, and seat 900 people in a banquet setting.
