Carefully chosen as the venue, ACannabis is thrilled to align with this world class venue that has a strong emphasis on sustainability and the environment.
The Venue
CENTREPIECE at Melbourne Park is a new dedicated event centre in the heart of the Melbourne & Olympic Parks sporting and entertainment precinct easily accessible by car, tram, train or a short walk from the CBD and surrounds.
Quintessentially Melbourne, with sweeping views of the Melbourne city skyline, CENTREPIECE is surrounded by open green spaces, Australian gum trees and championship tennis courts which are part of the precinct’s rich sporting history.
Bounded by the Yarra River and set among 40 hectares of green public space, the Melbourne & Olympic Parks precinct is perhaps best known as the home of the Australian Open.
Sustainability
From its cutting-edge design to its paddock-to-plate philosophy, CENTREPIECE at Melbourne Park has environmental sustainability at its heart. From the materials chosen to build the venue, to the water harvesting and recycling program, sustainability is leading their decisions to deliver a greener event.
CENTREPIECE achieved LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Gold Certification in 2021.
LEED-certified buildings are independently verified as being resource and energy-efficient, and help contribute to cleaner, greener, healthier cities.
Located in a rare corridor of green space in the urban environment, this remarkable new venue features 370 solar panels, rainwater harvesting capabilities and water-efficient fittings throughout.
Energy-efficient lighting and double-glazed windows help further reduce its carbon footprint.
With easy access to public transport and ample bicycle parking, you can choose to arrive via greener transport options.
They also grow their own produce in a dedicated kitchen garden, and organically treat food waste to feed their gardens and help keep the precinct green.
They reduce, recycle and work with suppliers to deliver greener, more sustainable events that help contribute to the future of our planet.
MCIA looks forward to welcoming delegates to CENTREPIECE in Melbourne.
