sqm of flexible space.

 The biggest total meeting room space in Australia at 8,000 sqm across 40
rooms, linked to both convention and exhibition areas.

 The biggest Australian convention capacity - known as plenary space - able to
accommodate more than 12,000 people over four different areas, allowing
multiple events to take place at the same time.

 Sydney’s largest ballroom, for at least 2,000 people - almost double the current
capacity.

A red carpet, premium entertainment facility with a capacity of at least 8,000

people, suitable for both entertainment events and 'mega' conferences.
 State-of-the-art technology throughout, such as free wireless connectivity
across all facilities and 10 free Wi-Fi hot spots in the public open space.

Up to 900 hotel rooms in a hotel complex at the northern end of the precinct.

 The new convention, exhibition and entertainment facilities will be built north of
Pier St.

 Renewed and upgraded public domain that has been increased by a hectare,
including an outdoor event space for up to 25,000 people at an expanded
Tumbalong Park.


 A new neighbourhood at the southern end of the precinct, called The
Haymarket, home to high-tech businesses, apartments, student
accommodation, shops, cafes and restaurants.

 The new urban neighbourhood will be created south of Pier St on the site of the
existing Sydney Entertainment Centre and car park.

 Improved pedestrian connections drawing people between Central, Chinatown
and Cockle Bay Wharf as well as east-west between Ultimo/Pyrmont and the
city.
