Geelong’s future as one of Victoria’s leading business and tourism destinations is continuing to gather momentum, with more than 50 major events already secured for the new Nyaal Banyul Geelong Convention and Event Centre ahead of its official opening.

The landmark waterfront facility has already attracted a strong pipeline of conferences, exhibitions and business events that are expected to inject millions of dollars into the local economy over the coming years.

More than 100 jobs are currently being filled across hospitality, events, customer service and operations, creating exciting employment opportunities for local residents.

The centre is expected to generate significant flow-on benefits for Geelong businesses, including hotels, restaurants, cafes, retailers and tourism operators, while helping position the region as a premier destination for major events.

With a world-class theatre, conference facilities, exhibition spaces and public event areas, Nyaal Banyul represents one of the most significant investments in Geelong’s future and highlights the city’s growing reputation as a regional powerhouse for business, tourism and innovation.

As the opening date approaches, excitement continues to build around the opportunities this project will create for local businesses, workers and the broader Geelong community.
