The Outback Arts Coonamble Plaza Theatre restoration and activation

Orana RDA is supporting Outback Arts with the development of the Outback Arts Creative Hub, to be located at the Coonamble Plaza Theatre, through grant applications.

In 2023, Outback Arts purchased the historic Plaza Theatre in Coonamble. The acquisition, restoration, and activation of the Plaza Theatre in Coonamble, will transform it into a thriving cultural hub that enriches the community and the Outback Arts region.

By purchasing the theatre, Outback Arts ambitiously aims to restore, renovate and share the space with the community for performance, celebration, recreation and more. Their goal is to prepare this one-of-a-kind community facility for its next chapter by replacing or restoring the necessary roofing and plasterwork , adding sound and lighting, adapting the structure to meet current accessibility and safety requirements. This will provide the theatre with modern facilities needed to make this beautiful, historic venue accessible and affordable for everyone to use.
