Sydney is set to see a major expansion of its MICE facilities. The New South Wales government had initially planned to redevelop the site of the existing Sydney Entertainment Centre to cater for the MICE market, but it has now broadened the scope of the redevelopment to encompass a 12-hectare space, including the site of the existing Sydney Convention & Exhibition Centre (SCEC) at Darling Harbour.
The expanded site has been named the Sydney International Convention, Exhibition and Entertainment Precinct and is intended to provide Australia’s largest event facilities.
Construction is expected be completed by 2016, resulting in at least 40,000m
