Riverside Theatres Redevelopment Project

About the Project

The Riverside Theatres Redevelopment sets a bold vision to create a world-class performing arts centre in Sydney’s Central City to nurture artists and showcase the culture, values and aspirations of the community across a mix of performance venues and adaptable spaces. The redevelopment repositions and modernises the over 30 year old venue, while more than doubling its original capacity.
