The Performing Arts Centre (PAC), designed by renowned Architect Zaha Hadid houses 5 Theatres, including a Music Hall, Concert Hall, Opera House, Drama Theatre and a Flexible Theatre with a combined seating capacity of 6,300  guests. The Performing Arts Centre has a total floor area of 62,800 m², ten levels above ground and four underground, a Height of 62m and a Length of 490m (including the Bridge).

Zaha Hadid has described the design of the Performing Arts Centre as: ‘A sculptural form that emerges from a linear intersection of pedestrian paths within the cultural district, gradually developing into a growing organism that sprouts a network of successive branches. As it winds through the site, the architecture increases in complexity, building up height and depth and achieving multiple summits in the bodies housing the performance spaces, which spring from the structure like fruits on a vine and face westward toward the water.’

The Performing Arts Centre Project is still in the detailed design phase and is not intended to commence until 2018.
