The Star Event Centre Opens

The $100 million Event Centre at The Star has officially opened. Built on the rooftop of The Star, the multi-purpose venue has been designed to host a range of events and functions, including domestic and international meetings, seminars, trade shows and exhibitions, functions, gala dinners, award ceremonies and special events.

A highlight feature of the Event Centre is a distinctive gemstone shape and translucent glass shell exterior that morphs into different colours at night, becoming a visual icon within the city.

The 1077m2 venue space can accommodate 4000 patrons in concert mode, 1200 in a banquet or ballroom setting and 1300 people in conference mode. Leading audio visual technology and production facilities have been developed for the Event Centre by Sceno Plus, creators of The Colosseum at Caesars Palace and The Joint at Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas.

The venue has recently played host to the 2nd annual AACTA Awards and performances by Australian music legend, John Farnham.
