News this week: The acting premier of New South Wales and
Minister for Trade and Investment, Troy Grant, has announced construction of
the new exhibition, convention and entertainment facilities at Sydney’s Darling
Harbour is on schedule for its planned opening in December 2016.
The Exhibition and
Event Association of Australasia (EEAA) has
welcomed the news and claims the site has been completely transformed over the
past 12 months which now shows evidence of the new structures rising since demolition
began. According to Sydney’s CVB, Business Events
Sydney (BESydney), 19 major international business
events have already been secured for the new International
Convention Centre Sydney (ICC Sydney).
Joyce DiMascio, chief executive of EEAA, commented, “With a redevelopment
of this scale it’s good to know that construction by Lend Lease is progressing
well and according to the timetable shared with industry. EEAA members are
major users of the exhibition and convention centre precinct and so it’s very
pleasing to know that at this stage we can look forward to an on-time return to
the site.”
