Project Description

A NEW THEATRE FOR THE CITY OF CASEY

Demand assessment, concept testing and financial modeling for a new Theatre for the City of Casey, Melbourne.

Positive Solutions was engaged to assist in defining the market for the proposed theatre venue to be constructed as part of City of Casey’s Council’s Main Street Project. The project included community consultation and advice on elements to be included in the new theatre.

Positive Solutions concluded that there was a widely-accepted need for the proposed Theatre and precinct (named Bunjil Place), and that the Theatre configuration should include an 800-seat main auditorium. A second space could accommodate functions of c.100 and be used for other activities, including occasional small–scale performances.

City of Casey are now building Bunjil Place which, aside from civic offices, will house the Theatre, a studio, regional gallery, regional library, function centre and an outdoor plaza with a large screen. The project is scheduled for completion in late 2017.
