Melbourne’s premium live music concert arena, Rod Laver Arena, is about to undergo a bold new makeover.

The multi-million dollar renovation will include a new main entrance via a new eastern annex, new food and beverage outlets, ungraded toilet facilities and increased disability access.

For the industry the redevelopment will include increased rigging capacity and a larger loading bay.

The construction will also include a pedestrian bridge over Batman Avenue creating a new gateway to Melbourne Park. An eight storey media centre will also be built for the Australian Open.

The Rod Laver Arena improvements are part of a $338 million development of Melbourne Park. Construction will commence in February 2016 and is expected to be completed by 2020.

Beauty and the Beast, the Noise11 Review Melbourne 29 June 2024

The new Australian production of Beauty and the Beast is gobsmackingly good. This new version of the show, based on the 2022 UK production, takes the technology available in theatres to a whole new level. But of course, without a strong story, great music, the colourful costumes, humour and an outstanding cast, it wouldn’t fly. Beauty and the Beast gets the highest tick for every category.
