Goulburn Performing Arts Centre is an adaptive reuse of Goulburn’s historic town hall; housing a funky café and Box Office, with the Council Chambers converted into ‘the Meeting Place’ – a wine bar and boutique performance space. A glass atrium connects to the 400 seat state of the art proscenium arch auditorium, which includes wheelchair seating and hearing loop.
There is a fly tower, counterweight fly system, lighting bridges, opera pit and a 15k lumen projector, with 4 dressing rooms, band room, green room, workshops and loading dock.
