THE MACKAY REGION – QUEENSLAND’S AWARD-WINNING BUSINESS EVENT DESTINATION
World-class facilities, impressive events, memorable experiences.
The Mackay Region of Queensland offers a vibrant and picturesque regional business event destination – there is plenty of space to unwind whilst achieving outstanding event outcomes.
A central location
Mackay sits on the Queensland coast, approximately half-way between Brisbane and Cairns and the multi award-winning Mackay Entertainment & Convention Centre (MECC) is the largest venue between those two locations. Mackay provides a central meeting point in Queensland, with easy access from all regions – ideal for drawing a state-wide audience for your business event.
Mackay – a diverse destination
- The relaxed, nature-based Mackay Region inspires, with limited distractions to intrude
- An impressive array of affordable, quality accommodation options, many within easy walking distance of the MECC, alternative hotel conference and meeting facilities, plus a selection of unique off-site dining venues tick all the business event decision-making boxes
Excellent Access
Affordable and frequent services from airlines Jetstar, QantasLink and Virgin Australia provide over 80 flights per week in and out of Mackay to Brisbane, Rockhampton, Townsville & Cairns. New start-up airline Bonza will commence services to Melbourne, Sunshine Coast and Cairns later in 2022.
Award-winning convention centre
The Mackay Entertainment & Convention Centre, located in the heart of Mackay, is just a 10-minute drive from Mackay Airport.
The state of the art, purpose-built MECC comprises multiple versatile spaces including a 1090 seat auditorium and two plenary halls which, when fully extended, seats over 1450 delegates theatre style or 800 guests banquet style. There are four meeting rooms, a 100-seat studio space, two foyers, a selection of breakout rooms, a dedicated event planner office and a registration desk.
