I was lucky enough to visit Mackay recently to check out the new Mackay Convention Centre which is still under construction.
Mackay is going off! I remember going there about ten years ago, and it was like a ghost town. I looked at the Entertainment Centre back then (the new Convention Centre is being built adjacent to the Entertainment Centre - it will all be one building eventually).
I ran an event there about three years ago, and I didn't recognise the place.
Going back last year, I didn't recognise it AGAIN. It has changed so much. There is so much construction and change going on.
Grinders Catering, who has the contract for Catering for the Convention Centre is fantastic - we got to sample a fantastic array of morning & afternoon tea pieces (the vegetarian tart was my absolute favourite). They will do an awesome job. It is fantastic to find such great food in a regional centre!
