Catering
Royal International Convention Centre has world-class catering facilities which feature 12 of the latest technology Air-O-Steam Combi Ovens, capable of serving 1,200 plates in 20 minutes.
Featuring state of the art design, the cooking centres enable us to produce fresh food on a daily basis for large numbers; this is unique considering many venues currently use Regethermic cooking systems.
The self-cooking centres feature a computerised system which enables us to track and monitor the quality of food being served.
A specialised team of in-house executive chefs will tailor a menu to suit all needs and budgets and are able to cater for multiple events at any one time from unobtrusive side entry points.
Operable ceiling grid system
Another unique feature of the Convention Centre is its world-class custom built operable ceiling grid system which can cut exhibition set-up time by up to a day. Royal International Convention Centre is the only centre in Australia to feature this state of the art rigging system.
The grid system features 30 x 9 square metre grids each capable of a 700kg load and each fitted with power and network ports. They are able to be lowered by remote control for banners, lighting, audio visual equipment and other materials which can be fitted with ease and importantly, without the need for scissor lifts.
This means less labour, less time and less set-up cost.
