Venues for Hire

Conference Room

The centrepiece of the Ann Harding Conference Centre, the Conference Room is a high-capacity auditorium that brings together contemporary design and practical versatility. Flooded with natural light from floor-to-ceiling windows, it offers a polished, welcoming space for keynote addresses, large presentations, gala dinners, and hybrid events.

Outdoor access to surrounding gardens provides an opportunity for fresh-air networking and seamless breakouts, while advanced AV systems are easily operated via intuitive touch panels. Offering open floor planning, or a fully catered formal arrangement, the Conference Room adapts to your ambitions.

Glass Foyer

Elegant, expansive and architecturally designed, the Glass Foyer is more than just an entrance – it’s a destination in itself. Featuring soaring glass walls and curated Indigenous artworks, this is a space that makes an immediate impression.

Ideal for cocktail receptions, expos, media launches, or as a stylish catering area, the foyer offers a vibrant atmosphere flooded with natural light. Integrated sound and speaker systems make it presentation-ready, while its proximity to an array of alternative spaces offers event planners both flexibility and flow.

Seminar Rooms

Our dual Seminar Rooms offer a professional yet welcoming space for workshops, panel discussions, or breakout sessions. With AV technology and a moveable wall system that allows you to combine the rooms into a larger format, they are ideal for flexible programming throughout the day.

Each room features large windows that frame the surrounding native gardens, supporting a sense of calm and creativity that enhances collaboration and engagement. The layout is equally suited to training events, executive briefings, or educational seminars.

Semesters Room

Tucked within Building One, the Semesters Room is an intimate, sunlit space perfect for board meetings, strategy days, or celebratory lunches.

The room features panoramic views of tree-lined gardens, elevating any gathering with a connection to nature. Designed to accommodate both corporate and social functions, it’s a versatile option for groups seeking privacy with polish.
