Venue Hire Information

The Star Court

The magnificent Star Court is one of Sydney’s finest multi-purpose spaces. The eye is drawn upwards to the Celestial Vault, a triangular dome-shaped ceiling with its surface revealing the 50 star constellations of the southern skies. High on The Forecourt walls, a spectacular sculptural frieze carved into 15 panels chronicles the evolution of commerce in Australia, where each panel creates its own story. Custom furniture, carpets, lamps and timber balustrades cut with the silhouette of a grove of Eucalypt Trees, reflect the aura of style and elegance.

The Star Court can accommodate up to 400 guests for a Cocktail Reception and up to 600 guests if The Gallery area is utilized. The venue will comfortably seat 200 guests for formal dining with a dance floor, or up to 250 guests with no dance floor provision.


The Gallery

The Gallery, the upper level of the Star Court, has become home to the very popular annual exhibitions for ‘Australian Indigenous Art’ (convened by Wayne Hunter-Taylor, Australian Art Informs for World Vision), the Sculpture Society, the Sydney Morning Herald’s ‘Young Designer of the Year’.

An extension of the Darling Park Tower lobbies, The Gallery complements the busy work place environment that pulsates with life from dawn till dusk.



The Garden

The Garden is a combination of brilliant architecture and clever engineering. Divided into six continental rooms, the spectacular 3000 square metre garden is designed to form the shape of a large waratah when viewed from above.

More than 1000 trees, plants and shrubs have been planted representing every continent in the world. Your guests can access The Garden during events from both venues, for example you might like to have your pre-dinner drinks in The Garden or simply use it for breakout areas during a conference in The Pavilion.



The Pavilion

Nestled in the Northern corner of The Garden, The Pavilion is the perfect venue for all types of functions. Bathed in natural light from the curved windows surrounding The Garden, The Pavilion is ideal for business seminars, theatre style conferences, cocktail receptions, formal dinners and other special events.

The venue is equipped with selected AV equipment and has complete blackout facilities.
