The Victorian State Government today announced that Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre (MCEC) will be expanded to include extra hotel rooms.
However, it hasn’t been revealed if the new rooms will be an extension to the existing Hilton Melbourne South Wharf or if a new hotel will be constructed on the site.
In addition to this, the current proposal will see retail space, additional car parks and multi-purpose convention and exhibition facilities add to the South Wharf site footprint.
The industry has welcome this news as the venue turns away nearly 20 per cent of new business opportunities due to lack of available space.
Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Trust Chairman Bob Annells said, “The expansion business case has been in the pipeline with the Victorian State Government and stakeholders for some time and we are grateful for their support.
“We also thank our many supporters, including VECCI, who have been pushing this important project which will significantly benefit the entire state.
