Cairns Convention Centre

The Cairns Convention Centre has undergone a $176 million expansion and refurbishment to:

  • maximise the centre’s capabilities
  • modernise the facilities
  • bring new business to the tropical north.

Known for its prime location, premium food offering and prestigious events, the new look Centre has facilities to cater for multiple functions, helping the city to attract new conferences and events of even greater sizes and complexity.

The refurbishment works were completed and the centre operator ASM Global held their first event on 12 May 2021.

The construction works on the expansion reached practical completion in July 2023 and events are now hosted across the entire venue. You can visit the venue website to learn more.

The upgraded Centre will support ongoing employment opportunities in hospitality, logistics, security, and maintenance.
