CENTREPIECE at Melbourne Park is a new state-of-the-art conference and events centre primely positioned in the heart of Melbourne’s premier sports and entertainment precinct, Melbourne & Olympic Parks. 

The venue’s unique architectural design allows it to transform for an array of events and embodies the allure of Australia’s natural landscape and surrounding open green spaces of flora and fauna. Find touches of Australiana throughout the venue and tributes to Melbourne Park’s rich sporting history. CENTREPIECE spans three levels of exceptional spaces including a 2,000sqm Grand Hall, light and bright pre-function space and 15 break out rooms. Flanked by the iconic Rod Laver Arena and the MCG, with sweeping views of the Melbourne City Skyline, CENTREPIECE offers a truly unique Melbourne experience.

The MCG is more than a stadium. 

It’s a special place. 

A meeting place.
