The vision for the new facility is to provide quality performance and entertainment to engage and celebrate an inclusive Brisbane.
The new venue, SunPAC, will be a showcase for local cultural life. It will provide a new local hub for community activities, celebrating the rich diversity of its home in Sunnybank.
