About 59 Cameron Ave Conference & Event Centre

59 Cameron Ave Conference & Event Centre fills level 11 of the hotel building at 59 Cameron Avenue in Belconnen. Its windows face Lake Ginninderra on one side and the Brindabella range on the other, and there is undercover parking for more than 300 cars below. The floor holds six spaces. The Canberra Room is the Ginninderra and Galambary rooms opened into one 416 square metre hall, taking 400 standing, 280 at banquet tables or 250 cabaret style. On their own, Galambary holds 270 for cocktails and Ginninderra 200, while Brindabella suits 120 standing or 80 seated. Bar 59 is a 230 square metre licensed bar on the same level, available for private functions or for drinks once a conference wraps up. It works well for a cocktail party, and the team also hosts Christmas lunches, dinners and end-of-year celebrations here. All catering is done on site. Options run from canapes and grazing tables to buffets and alternate-drop entrees, mains and desserts, with vegan, gluten-free and allergy-aware choices on every menu. Drinks are sold as packages charged per person by the hour, from house wine and beer through to a premium list with local Canberra District wines. A dedicated event manager looks after each booking, and the rooms come with projectors, screens, Wi-Fi and climate control.
