Plan view

Shape approximate: the venue publishes area only, so this room is drawn as a square of equal area.

LED wall that fits

Under a 3.4 m ceiling with 1.5 m trim and 0.3 m clearance you get 3 rows of 500 mm tile flown, which is tight; ground-stack or go lower on trim. Along the 11.5 m wall a Absen PL2.5 Plus V2 wall runs 18 x 3 (3600 x 600 px, 421 kg, 8.6 kW).

Absen PL2.5 Plus V2	2.5 mm	18 x 3 = 54	9 x 1.5 m	3600 x 600	421 kg / 929 lb	8.6 kW, 42 A @ 208 V

Wall sizing assumes 1.5 m trim to the bottom edge, 0.3 m clearance under the ceiling, and a wall no wider than 80% of the longest wall. Weight and power are tile totals from the panel spec sheet; add processing, rigging, and cable.

Seating estimate

After a 12 x 7 m stage, Gold Coast Ballroom 2 holds about 107 theater seats, 43 banquet seats at rounds of 10, or 30 classroom seats. Back row in theater is roughly 4.5 m from the downstage edge; the previz checks whether the bottom of the wall clears the heads in front.
