Meet the Melbourne Arts Precinct Transformation. This is your chance to play a role building one of Victoria’s most significant cultural projects and put your business in front of the people shaping its delivery.

The Melbourne Arts Precinct Transformation Trade Fair is your chance as a supplier to connect directly with key procurement and delivery decision makers on the project, build relationships with major project partners, and explore real opportunities for local suppliers to contribute to this iconic precinct.

Event overview

This trade fair will give attendee suppliers an overview of the Melbourne Arts Precinct Transformation project, including its exciting complexity, bespoke design features and some of the materials and delivery considerations involved in bringing a landmark cultural destination of this scale to life.

Some of the priority trades include electrical, mechanical, hydraulic, fire, communications, landscaping, waterproofing and ICT.

It’s also a valuable opportunity to understand the wider policy context shaping the project, including relevant legislation, incentives and targets. Most importantly, it will bring local manufacturers, trade partners and businesses into the room with key decision makers, creating a clearer, more direct pathway to connect capability with opportunity.

What to expect

The trade fair kicks off with keynote presentations, including speakers from project and procuring agency leads Lendlease and Development Victoria, followed by a panel discussion, then the trade fair and networking.
