paranaple is a local aboriginal word
The paranaple convention centre opened in September 2018 as part of the City of Devonport’s LIVING CITY master plan. It offers a contemporary conference, convention and events centre in the heart of North-West Tasmania.
The name paranaple is a local aboriginal word for the section of the Mersey River that flows through Devonport and into Bass Strait. The floor to ceiling windows on the top floor convention centre take advantage of the waterside location with a spectacular view of the mouth of the Mersey River and Bass Strait.
This spacious and flexible 400 banquet or 800 theatre style auditorium offers modern facilities, all within a stone’s throw of accommodation, restaurants, artisan markets, activities and attractions.
