UPGRADES & IMPROVEMENTS TO THE HISTORICAL BOWRAVILLE THEATRE

Council received joint Australian and NSW Government funding for improvements to Bowraville Theatre, including the provision of disabled entry access.

The upgrade includes disabled access for the historic Bowraville Theatre, a disabled lift for those with mobility restrictions to access the stage, and improvements and upgrades to electrical, sound and lighting connections as well.

The project is progressing well, and the Bowraville Arts Council, in collaboration with Archive Mid North Coast look forward to hosting events at the Bowraville Theatre to showcase the improved facilities, access, sound and lighting.

Federal Minister for Emergency Management Kristy McBain said it’s great to see funding supporting the transformation of the historic Bowraville Theatre into a more inclusive and accessible community hub.

“Upgrades like these help safeguard important local venues so they can continue bringing people together long after the immediate recovery work is done,” Minister McBain said.

“By investing in places that foster connection, creativity and resilience, we’re helping communities not to just bounce back, but build back stronger.”

Minister for Regional NSW Tara Moriarty said the opening of Bowraville Theatre is great for the local community, providing a more inclusive and accessible space for everyone to enjoy.

“Spaces like the Bowraville Theatre are vital — they bring people together, celebrate creativity, and ensure no one is left behind,” Minister Moriarty said.

“The NSW Government is proud to support projects that strengthen community connection and preserve the cultural heart of our regions.”
