22.09.2015 - ICC Sydney celebrates continued progress

NSW Premier Mike Baird and Minister for Transport and Infrastructure Andrew Constance celebrated another milestone with the Darling Harbour Live consortium that is delivering International Convention Centre Sydney (ICC Sydney). As one of three interconnected buildings that form Australia’s premier and first fully integrated convention, exhibition and entertainment destination, the convention building has been designed to host up to three concurrent conventions, each with their own plenary and catering facilities, meeting rooms and foyer spaces. The operational preparations of venue manager AEG Ogden are also on track. ICC Sydney Chief Executive Officer and AEG Ogden Group Convention Centres Director Geoff Donaghy said the topping out event marked almost 12 months to the testing and commissioning programme that will see the entire venue presented and operating at world-class standards in time for its opening in December 2016. ICC Sydney is Australia’s premier convention, exhibition and event precinct. The showcase international venue is Australia’s largest and first fully-integrated convention, exhibition and entertainment centre. ICC Sydney is the epicentre of a 20-hectare transformation of Darling Harbour by the NSW Government to highlight Sydney as the first choice in Australia and the Asia Pacific region for the major events industry.
