Welcome to The Portside Centre

The Portside Centre is a purpose built training and conference venue catering for groups of between 5 and 250 people.

Portside is composed of 14 rooms, 7 with natural light, which may be hired individually or as combinations. Retractable sound proofed walls allow us to configure rooms to many different shapes and sizes depending on your requirements - e.g. U-shape, classroom, cluster, or theatre style.

The Centre is conveniently located in the Sydney CBD, just a few minutes walk from Wynyard train and bus services. A number of parking stations are close by, as are several accommodation options from serviced apartments to up-market hotels.

The Portside Centre has been owner/operated since 1996 and as such, we have an excellent understanding of what it takes to facilitate a successful and productive meeting. Our position in the market is dictated by your need for friendly and efficient service and professional facilities without the rigid conditions and pricing of hotels .

We're Australian owned and operated.
