New convention<br />
centre for Sydney<br />
Crown Group’s Wayne Taranto<br />
speaks to <strong>Spice</strong> Magazine<br />
about how the upcoming Infinity<br />
development will cater to the<br />
meetings and events industry.<br />
Sydney will welcome a brand new convention venue<br />
in the fourth quarter of this year, with the opening<br />
of Infinity Convention Centre at Green Square.<br />
The venue will form part of Crown Group’s $575 million<br />
mixed-use development, Infinity by Crown Group, which<br />
is nearing completion in Sydney’s inner south.<br />
The centre will have capacity for up to 450 delegates and<br />
will comprise a main event space, two smaller meeting<br />
rooms and a pre-function area.<br />
Speaking to <strong>Spice</strong> Magazine, Crown Group director of<br />
hotels and suites Wayne Taranto said the centre will be<br />
a suitable alternative to venues in the CBD and airport<br />
precincts, especially when demand is high.<br />
“The primary focus markets will be conferences,<br />
seminars, trade exhibitions, product launches and<br />
dinners,” he said.<br />
Crown Group will manage the sales for the centre, while<br />
an external operator will be appointed to provide catering<br />
and services. The centre will include onsite kitchen<br />
facilities to cater for large-scale functions.<br />
Alongside 362 residential apartments, Infinity by Crown<br />
Group will also feature a 90-room serviced apartment<br />
hotel, named Skye Suites Green Square, and a dining and<br />
retail offering. Delegates and hotel guests will enjoy direct<br />
access from the Green Square train station, making the<br />
venue easily accessible from both the city and airport.<br />
“We forsee this development as a one-stop location,<br />
with a residential component, a great retail precinct and<br />
a hotel complimented by a beautiful convention centre<br />
facility,” said Taranto.<br />
“Conference organisers like to have their delegates in<br />
one location, so I think that will be an advantageous part<br />
of the centre for us.” n<br />
“The primary focus markets<br />
will be conferences, seminars,<br />
trade exhibitions, product<br />
launches and dinners”<br />
