The Adelaide Entertainment Centre was opened by the Government of South Australia in 1991 as a result of strong community demand for a suitable venue to host touring artists and entertainment. Since its opening it has hosted hundreds of concerts, entertained the community and become recognised as the leading function venue in South Australia.

The Adelaide Entertainment Centre houses a multi-purpose arena facility with a capacity to entertain almost 12,000 people.  In addition to accommodating the world’s greatest concerts, the arena can also be configured to welcome banquets, conventions, conferences, exhibitions, trade fairs, sporting events and entertainment spectaculars.

To continue its reputation for providing first-rate service to patrons, the Adelaide Entertainment Centre has begun a $52million redevelopment that includes:

• A new medium sized live entertainment venue
• Large semi-enclosed dome forecourt
• An expansion of patron service areas

Rondo’s role in the redevelopment involves supplying 150 & 92 x 1.15 Stud and Track for the walls and the ceilings will include either Rondo’s KEYLOCK® concealed suspended ceiling system or DUO® exposed suspended ceiling system.

Rondo would like to thank Hansen and Yuncken, Hassell and Partners, and Lazer Linings for allowing Rondo’s quality wall and ceiling systems to be incorporated into this project.
