This two stage redevelopment incorporated an extensive expansion and upgrade of performer and patron facilities based carefully around the restoration of the art deco theatre and original foyer. Performance deficiencies were addressed by expanding the stage area (horizontally and vertically), improving dressing room facilities, incorporating modern stage rigging, theatrical lighting, and sound communication services. Patron comfort has been enhanced through the addition of a new foyer and entrance, and upgrading the toilets and servicing facilities. Tim Judd and Guy Natusch were Project Architects leading the coordination of an extensive team of supporting consultants.
