Nestled within the Cairns Botanic Gardens precinct, Tanks Arts Centre is a distinctive venue housed in three converted World War II naval oil storage tanks. This heritage-listed site offers a unique backdrop for a diverse array of events, including live music, theatre, visual arts, market days, and workshops. The main performance space, Tank 5, features a licensed bar and accommodates up to 650 standing or 480 seated guests, with its rugged, oil-stained poles and concrete walls adding to its Gothic charm. The centre is fully wheelchair accessible, with compliant graded paths and accessible bathrooms located beside Tank 5. Free street parking is available along Collins Avenue and surrounding side streets.
