OVERVIEW OF WEC FACILITIES

 

WEC Level 1

Level 1 consists of a 1500 m² floor. Attached to each wall is a retractable seating system containing 1008 seats. When fully extended, the area provides for an international standard basketball court with appropriate run-offs.

The central area can be used for other indoor sports activities, ice shows, dancing, catered functions, exhibitions, trade shows, and conferences. The area also forms part of the lower level audience seating for large-scale concerts and performances.

Behind the walls on Level 1 are four (4) team change rooms, warm up rooms, a referee's lounge and six (6) private dressing rooms offering ample dressing room areas.

Also on this level are various storage areas, centre management, a production office, first-aid room, security and operations control, toilets and a fully equipped kitchen with cool rooms and lift access to the function area on level 2.

WEC Level 2 (Street Level)

  

This level features foyer space on three (3) sides of the venue, with the fourth side housing a boutique brewery and restaurant, the Five Islands Brewing Company.

Foyer spaces accommodate a Ticketek Box Office, catering snack bars and services, merchandising areas, an Artists Gallery and toilets. The foyer can also host other activities when the centre is in function mode.

The Five Islands Brewing Company services patrons attending events in the centre and is also available for private functions. Open daily till late, the Brewery is an ideal place to relax with a creamy cappuccino or to enjoy a scrumptious three (3) course meal.

From the foyers there are eight (8) entry doors leading into the auditorium to crossover aisles where patrons either descend to the arena seating below or ascend to concourse seating above. There is ample provision on both levels for disabled seating.

WEC Level 3 & 4

These levels complete the fixed seating arrangements and incorporate television, radio and sound control booths in addition to various plant areas.

The large roof structure and catwalks have the capacity to suspend lighting, stage, dividing curtains, scoreboard, decorations and banners.

The curtain divider system can separate an area of the auditorium if full seating is not required and, with the demountable stage, implement a theatrical seating configuration at the western end of the venue.
