About the Centre:

The Gladstone Entertainment Convention Centre hosts a new state-of-the-art redevelopment of the Centre and expansion of the adjoining multi-level car park to include an additional three levels of car parking and two storeys of commercial office space.

This multi-million dollar redevelopment has established the Gladstone Entertainment Convention Centre as one of regional Queensland’s premier entertainment venues, attracting new entertainment, conferences and events never before seen in the region.

New flat floor spaces complement the centre’s existing theatre, which seats 674 people, allowing the entertainment centre to host multiple events at any one time. The auditorium has also undergone a major refurbishment with upgrades to seating, lighting and acoustics.

The car park expansion has provided three new levels of car parking adding much-needed additional parking in the Gladstone CBD. Three new elevators also provide improved access to the GECC through a second entry lobby directly off the car park.

GECC’s new kitchen facilities offer the latest technology in banquet catering to deliver seven hundred meals in fifteen minutes, cooked to perfection.
