Plans for a new Wales International Conference Centre (WICC) at Celtic Manor Resort in Newport are set to move a step closer. A report to be considered by Newport City Council's planning committee on 4 June 2015 has recommended that the plans be approved, subject to conditions.

Wales International Conference Centre will be the largest of its kind in Wales or the south west of England. The 20,000 sq-mt site will have the potential to accommodate up to 3,000 delegates. It will be located within the Celtic Manor Resort complex.
The main auditorium will accommodate up to 1,500 delegates with the flexibility to divide into smaller spaces.
A 4,000 sq-mt Exhibition Hall will accommodate up to 2,000 guests for a gala dinner.
15 additional meeting rooms, with the largest seating 500 delegates theatre style, will each be equipped with state-of-the-art technology and fully integrated audio visual facilities.
There will be green-rooms and production offices plus a multi-storey car park with 700 spaces.

Celtic Manor Resort is located next to junction 24 of the M4 and four miles from Newport city centre.
