The Australian Equine and Livestock Events Centre continues to present a spectacular sight from the sky. This March 12 aerial supplied by the contractor National Buildplan shows the progress of the roof covering as the main arena basically gets the lid to its hat on. The arena roofing, including both bottom and higher roof lines, were due to be finished about March 15. The end tips and selling ring roof will be completed in April. Scenes from the Site gives you the very latest news and views of the construction project.

The Australian Equine and Livestock Events Centre (AELEC) in Tamworth is rapidly taking shape on the outskirts of the north western NSW city and is set for a grand opening in mid 2008.
Actual construction officially started on June 15, 2007 and work is well into the second phase of the contract period.
The spectacular design is providing a whole new landscape and horizon for the city and for travelers along the New England Highway on the southern side of Tamworth.
It is set to be an new icon for the city and a landmark of substantial importance. It will be an events centre unrivalled in Australia for its size and unique appearance.
We believe it will become to Tamworth and this council region what coal has become to Newcastle. A comprehensive consultation and research background, where industry has had significant input, has given us a design that has to be workable, flexible, contemporary but with the scope to grow with the times, and is functional for competitors, users and spectators.
We have married modern animal welfare standards with environmental responsibilities and the latest design and architectural techniques.
This interim website is keeping the world up to date with what’s happening at the Australian Equine and Livestock Events Centre. Later we will have additional details about bookings and event information. You can follow the reality of the dream that is coming true with regular updates and pictures from the project. We’ll let you know when the opening ceremony is planned too - so you can join the celebrations for one of the most exciting and significant developments undertaken in regional Australia.
