RNA chief executive Jonathan Tunny and Brisbane Marketing Convention Bureau director Annabel Sullivan used this week's AIME platform to unveil interior designs of the new convention centre and the role it will have in the multi-billion dollar RNA Showgrounds regeneration project.
"The $59 million Royal International Convention Centre (RICC) is stage one of a A$2.9 billion regeneration project to transform the Showgrounds into a vibrant year-round destination offering a unique lifestyle and cultural hub," said Tunny.
"It is Australia's largest 'brownfield' development, is the most significant urban renewal project in Brisbane since South Bank and includes 340,000sqm of new residential, commercial and retail precinct development."
Tunny said the 22,000sqm multi-level centre is set to hold international, national and local business events which in 2010-11 pumped a total of A$212 million into the Brisbane economy.
"Situated in one of the fastest-growing regions in Australia, the new RICC is ideally located 1.6 kilometres from Brisbane's central business district and 15 minutes from international and domestic airports," he said.
"It will have pride of place on the 22 hectare RNA Showgrounds site, which is Brisbane's biggest indoor/outdoor events venue, attracting millions of visitors a year."
Tunny said the new RICC offered 'Australian first' features including a custom-built operable ceiling grid system which can cut exhibition set-up time by up to 24 hours.
"Our catering facilities will be world class and feature 12 of the latest designed self-cooking centres, capable of serving 2,600 plates in 40 minutes.
"The ovens enable us to produce fresh food on a daily basis for large numbers and feature a computerised system to track and monitor the quality of the food being served."
