Cairns Convention Centre Expansion and Refurbishmment

An additional 10,500 square meters of space includes a landscaped undercover area, a grand entrance, a 450-seat plenary hall, three 120-seat meeting rooms, exhibition space for 30 booths, a 500-seat rooftop banquet venue, and a captivating sky terrace, elevating the convention experience.

Terraces strategically positioned throughout the centre not only connect visitors to the invigorating Far North Queensland breeze but also serve as vantage points for the awe-inspiring views. The 130-meter-long facade features a dynamic sunscreen that adapts to the sun’s path, ensuring optimal shading year-round.

Surrounded by a bountiful tropical landscape, the facade screen and porte-cochere redefine the centre’s sense of place. The newly elevated convention exhibition level features a shaded porte-cochere that moonlights as the main arrival area and transforms into an al fresco exhibition, function, and gathering space.

The Trinity Room, the largest such space in Cairns, commands the northern end of the expansion with unparalleled views of Trinity Inlet and the Ranges beyond.

The upgraded Cairns Convention Centre is set to host performances, art exhibitions, and conferences, establishing the region as a hub for national and international events. This transformation isn’t just a revitalisation; it’s a revolution in convention centre design, where light, nature, and innovation converge to create a world-class destination for events of all scales.
