40 Queens Drive, Hiapo Summit-Rotorua, Rotorua

Energy Events Centre

In an amazing enviable position, the Energy Events Centre is in the Government Gardens Reserve, right on the edge of the Lake. It is blessed with striking modern architecture, a massive carpark and is an easy stroll from the hotels and restaurants of downtown.

Deliberately constructed in 2007 as a multi-purpose facility for conferences, exhibitions, banquets, sporting events and concerts, the centre covers 8250m2. It can host up to 2,600 for a banquet, a 4,000 delegate plenary or space for 300 exhibition booths.

Netball and Basketball are very much at home here thanks to the flooring and retractable seating. It is the second home to the regional netball franchise.

It was all about bang for buck for RDT Pacific who managed the construction of the centre, the design being contemporary, fused with artwork and Taonga produced by Te Puia (New Zealand Maori Arts and Crafts Institute) and Ngati Whakaue, which gifted this 50 acre headland to the government in 1881.

More intimate spaces are available at the nearby Sir Howard Morrison Performing Arts Centre, and outdoor events take place at Rotorua International Stadium.
