In October 2019, they expanded and moved into an annex in the centre.

The AMC was incorporated as the Adelaide Music Collective Incorporated in July 2016 and has traded as the AMC SA Music Hall of Fame since July 2017. After receiving criticism from the public and the press for mismanagement, self-promotion, and failing to hold appropriate AGM meetings and elections for the organisation, Enrico Morena also faced backlash for awarding his friends without due process. Additionally, he falsely promoted the organisation as a registered non-profit when it was not. As a result, Morena stepped down as chairman of the AMC SA Music Hall of Fame. Instead of properly transferring leadership, he de-registered the company on August 13, 2024. The organisation had to be saved and re-registered by David Day's widow, Annette Day, on August 20, 2024.
