The Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre (MCEC) is conveniently located on the banks of the Yarra River in the heart of the city.

The fully-equipped Centre is close to restaurants, hotels and public transport hubs; and just 20 minutes by car from Melbourne Airport.

The modern MCEC complex is a landmark in the area, perched on the south bank of the Yarra River, and surrounded on all sides by trams, trains, buses, taxi ranks and ample car parking. A short stroll along the iconic Southbank Promenade places you in the heart of Melbourne city - Australia's culture, cuisine and events capital – where visitors can enjoy a perfect café latte by day or an award-winning local wine or microbrew by night.

The new Melbourne Convention Centre is open for business.

The new centre has been fully integrated with the existing Exhibition Centre making the MCEC the largest combined exhibition and convention centre in Australia.

The new centre is part of an A$1.4 billion development in South Wharf which includes a Hilton Hotel, a lifestyle retail precinct and 60,000 sq m (646,000 sq ft) of shopping space.

The new Melbourne Convention Centre has been awarded a 6 Star Green Star environmental rating by the Green Building Council of Australia, the first in the world for a convention centre.
