The multimillion-dollar Machjet Hangar is designed to host events and house private jets, and its 2200-square-metre space can accommodate 1080 guests banquet-style with 108 round tables plus a stage, dance floor and kitchen.

It has 9.4-metre-high ceilings, large ceiling purlins every nine metres, and three-phase power outlets throughout, with capability for extensive lighting, audio and prop rigging. 

In October 2025, Machjet Hangar will host the SunnyKids Mayoral Ball signature gala, in which it will be transformed into a glamorous setting.

Now in its ninth year, the SunnyKids Mayoral Ball raises funds to support children and families experiencing domestic and family violence and hardship.

“The Mayoral Ball has always been about uniting our community to create safer futures for children and families,” says Kathleen Hope, CEO, SunnyKids.

“In 2025, we are proud to elevate the experience by being the first to stage an event in Machjet’s stunning new hangar.

“It will be an unforgettable evening that combines glamour with purpose.”

Simon McDermott, managing director of Machjet International, says the company is proud to partner with SunnyKids.

“This hangar represents growth and innovation for our company, and we couldn’t think of a better way to showcase it than by supporting the Mayoral Ball,” he says.

“We’re proud this will be the first-ever event in the space and to stand alongside SunnyKids in creating an extraordinary evening for such an important cause.”
