The $68.4 million construction of the Claudelands Convention and Exhibition Centre in Hamilton, New Zealand, will now become a reality as Hamilton City Council finalised its Long Term Council Community Plan (LTCCP) at the beginning of June.
The redevelopment project has been designed on the basis of a unique one-site, multi-zoned facility with strong connectivity and close proximity to Hamilton's CBD.
It includes a 5000-capacity multipurpose indoor arena, 1500-capacity conference centre and upgraded exhibition facilities.
A proposed pedestrian link (as part of the City Heart project) to and from the CBD, a short walk of 10min across the Waikato River, will increase the connectivity between accommodation, central shopping and the venue.
Features of the development include a four-star equivalent conference and meeting facility, a 5000 person capacity indoor arena, multiple indoor and outdoor exhibition spaces, a multi-use grassed oval and a unique function space, The Grandstand
With construction due to be completed mid 2011 Claudelands is set to become an opportunity for Hamiltonians to see more quality shows and events as well as bringing positive economic benefits to the community.
