Albury Entertainment Centre Convention Wing Redevelopment
We’re undertaking a major redevelopment of the Albury Entertainment Centre (AEC) Convention Wing to create a leading regional events, conference and function venue.
About the Project
The Convention Wing, first opened in 1972 and last upgraded in 1993, requires a significant upgrade to meet modern conference and exhibition standards. The redevelopment will deliver a contemporary, expanded and flexible venue, doubling capacity to 2,000 delegates and accommodating large-scale conferences, exhibitions and business events, while attracting visitors and generating economic benefit for the community.
The project will also strengthen connections across the Cultural Precinct, improving integration with QEII Square, Murray Art Museum Albury (MAMA), the Albury LibraryMuseum, and surrounding retail and hospitality.
Planning has been undertaken over several years, including feasibility work and community engagement that informed the endorsed concept design and guiding principles.
Development consent for the project was granted by the Southern Regional Planning Panel. Detailed design was completed by Peddle Thorp and Hames Sharley.
The project is supported by $10 million from the Australian Government as part of its $80 million investment in the Albury Wodonga Regional Projects, and $15 million from the NSW Government, with the balance funded by AlburyCity, reflecting strong partnership across all levels of government.
