As operators of the future Nyaal Banyul Geelong Convention and Event Centre, we Acknowledge the Traditional Owners of Djilang (Geelong), the Wadawurrung people of the Kulin Nation. We pay respects to their Elders past and present, and thank them for gifting the centre its name, returning language to Country. Meaning ‘open your eyes to the hills’, once open, Nyaal Banyul will encourage visitors to the centre to look deeply and appreciate the landscapes and history of Wadawurrung Country.

Geelong's new event venue opens July 2026.

Food and Beverage

Explore Nyaal Banyul’s event menus featuring local Geelong and The Bellarine produce, coastal flavours and sustainable food that connects people to place.

Our Philosophy

Welcome to Nyaal Banyul, a place for gathering and sharing, where every dish invites you to pause and discover the bounty of our region.

Guided by the seasons, our menu highlights the fresh ingredients right at our doorstep. We work hand in hand with local farmers and artisans who share our respect for the planet, sourcing produce that’s as fresh and vibrant as the landscape it comes from.

Each plate showcases these lovingly grown ingredients, enriched with native flavours and paired with the latest culinary techniques and innovation. Many come from carbon-neutral suppliers, carrying the essence of Geelong and the Bellarine ripe, full of life, and deeply connected to this place.

Every dish we create threads a story of flavour, tradition and innovation and the powerful connection that brings people together.

Nyaal Banyul Food Philosophy

Where Our Food Comes From

We source close to home. Farmers, makers and producers across the Bellarine, Surf Coast and Otways shape what’s on our plates. Sustainability guides every choice: seasonal ingredients, minimal waste and partnerships that give back to the community.
