Why is this a major project

We will breathe new life into the Glen Street Theatre and create a high impact cultural hub which will include a relocated Belrose Library. The cultural hub will feature a 400 seat auditorium, upgraded foyer area and public spaces, new bar and box office areas, a café and a state of the art library. This will create a new centre for the arts on the northern beaches, an active cultural space that is unique in Sydney. The bush setting of the theatre will also be enhanced thanks to new landscaping which will allow more events to be staged outdoor.

Services and activities will flow from these venues that will provide cultural and social activities and experiences for the community. The sale of the library site and adjacent land will fund the redevelopment and also provide an opportunity for revitalisation of the shopping precinct.

What will be happening over the next 4 years?
