The $176 million transformation of the Cairns Convention Centre is driving real impact for Far North Queensland.   In the 2024/25 financial year, conferences and events hosted at the Centre are estimated to contribute an impressive $80 million in delegate spending to the Cairns economy, supporting local hotels, restaurants, and small businesses across the region.   At the heart of this transformation? 5,000sqm of LYSAGHT DOMINION® walling, chosen for its sleek design and durability, ensuring the building is as functional as it is visually striking.   “DOMINION® was really suitable due to its flat expression and recessed seam. The secret screw fixing is a strong design outcome,” said Richard Coulson, Director of Cox Architecture.   “Its versatility in design made it a preferred choice,” agreed Mark Duffin, Director of CA Architects.   This project showcases how thoughtful design and world-class materials can contribute to both the community and the economy, creating spaces that inspire and deliver lasting benefits.   Learn more about the centre’s transformation and its impact here: https://lysaght.co/3V8ngyq 🏛️ Cairns Convention Centre ✏️ Architects: Cox Architecture, Richard Coulson in association with CA Architects 🛠️ Builders: Lendlease 🔧 Installers: Matz Roofing Pty Ltd, Matt Newman, HPS Contractors 📐 Engineers: Arcadis
