Located at 80 Western Beach Road, the development features a 1,000-seat theatre, 3,700 square metres of flexible event space and a luxury 200-room hotel overlooking the bay. The centre has been designed with accessibility and inclusivity at its heart, incorporating sensory rooms, prayer spaces, all-gender amenities and dedicated family facilities.
