The ACT Government-owned National Convention Centre, Canberra was originally opened in 1989 and has been operated by the lessee, Intercontinental Hotels Group since 2001. It was one of the earliest specialist convention and exhibition facilities constructed in Australia. The inferior state of repair and poor functionality of the centre approaching the end of its life cycle was contributing to a declining market share of major conventions.

The project to reposition the National Convention Centre was initiated by the ACT Government and focussed on improving marketability though achieving value for money in addressing the sense of arrival and place, venue flexibility, delegate amenity and visitor experience. A capital upgrade program to refurbish the facility and achieve compliance with current building standards and reduce operating and maintenance costs was a key part of the redevelopment.

GHD was appointed Architect, Engineering and Environmental consultant to the ACT Government for the scoping, prioritising, design, documentation and construction of the facility.

A broad range of stakeholders in the property marketplace have complimented the project on and since its completion, and the GHD team has received numerous accolades from their peers in the property, government and consulting industry on the success of this challenging refurbishment project and its timely and cost effective completion
