VACC urges help for motor shows
VACC has called for government help after the 2013 show in Melbourne was cancelled
The call comes after the cancellation of this year's Melbourne motor show which was to have been held in June.
In a letter to the Victorian Treasurer, Michael O'Brien, the VACC urged an extension and upgrade of the Melbourne Exhibition Centre `so that this vital Melbourne facility remains competitive'.
VACC is owner of the Australian International Motor Show in a joint venture partnership with the Federal Chamber of Automotive Industries.
"This year's Motor Show may have been cancelled, but we are already working on a new business model for future Shows," VACC Executive Director, David Purchase, said. "We are making every effort to ensure Australia and Melbourne continues to have a Motor Show, but we'll need Victorian Government assistance to do so.
"A good first step would be to extend and upgrade the MEC so we have a world class venue to attract world class exhibitors to a world class show."
