Queanbeyan Performing Arts Centre
Project Summary
A new Performing Arts Centre for Queanbeyan -
A state-of-the art 350 seat Theatre, Exhibtion Space for local and touring exhibitions and a superb Foyer for receptions, functions and community gatherings
The demand for a Cultural Centre has come from the many cultural groups in the community. Queanbeyan has not had its own theatre since the 1970s and the rapid population growth has only increased the need for such a facility. Council appointed a Cultural Development Officer in 1996, formed a Cultural Advisory Committee and a Cultural Centre Steering Committee to progress the development of the Centre.
The new Centre has been built for $8.6m, of which Queanbeyan City Council has provided $6.875m. The State Government provided $1,125,000 in grants for the project, the Federal Government committed $550,000 in May 2004 through the Regional Partnerships Program. The local Queanbeyan Players raised $50,000 for the project.
