It features production studios, businesses and educational facilities, where creatives, technicians, designers, and engineers collaborate to advance the live events industry.

Backstage Academy offers undergraduate and postgraduate degrees, short courses and bespoke training programs that involve getting hands on with equipment and technology used by the entertainment industry. 4Wall Entertainment, Tait and ROE Visual are onsite and entrenched in the fabric of Production Park as well as other industry leading companies.

Backstage Academy students will have access to Elation lighting and Obsidian lighting control products for their studies for both on-campus and off-campus projects. The gear will also be utilized in training courses with industry professionals. The package includes Proteus and KL series luminaires from Elation, Magmatic atmospheric effects, as well as NX control solutions and Netron data distribution devices from Obsidian.

The partnership with Backstage Academy also includes use of Production Park facilities for product demonstrations and Open Days events, and sees Elation lighting products used within Xplor, a research and innovation centre delivered by Backstage Academy that opened in 2022.

It features spacious design and prototype areas for testing, modeling, and building physical and virtual environments.
