The newest, most dazzling nominee is this freshly unwrapped palace that soaks up three city blocks with three tiered theatres, 70 meeting rooms, Australia’s biggest ballroom and exhibition space and the largest kitchen in the Southern Hemisphere. Designed to welcome 30,000 people across three facilities, it cost $1.5 billion to build but is giving back by locally sourcing its food, 80 per cent of its wine and even its spotted-gum timber floors.
