History
The Entertainment Quarter and Fox Studios Australia, were originally the site of Royal Agricultural Society of New South Wales Sydney Showground which hosted the annual Sydney Royal Easter Show. The Sydney Showground moved to Homebush Bay in preparation for the 2000 Summer Olympics. Some of the venues built for the Olympic Games are now used for the annual show.
Fox Studios Australia and the entertainment precinct opened at Moore Park in 1998. A theme park at this location was closed and some of the facilities have found new uses in 'The Entertainment Quarter'.
