Restoration of Liberty Theatre to provide arts and education centre for Yass Valley region.
The restoration and upgrade of the iconic 1939 Art Deco Liberty Theatre in Yass will enable the community of Yass Valley to again enjoy cinema, theatre, stage, musical, and arts productions. It is also intended to bring tertiary education to the area and provide sound, film, video and production experience for the youth of the region, who may be looking at possible employment in those fields.
Listed by the National Trust as a heritage building of national significance, the theatre will receive a major upgrade and revitalitalisation of its current facilities whilst maintaining the wonderful and much-loved heritage aspects of the building.
The restoration of the building will ensure that Yass, and the wider regional community can again use this unique building for a range of local and touring theatre, cultural, exhibitions, workshops, and educational activities.
We aim to protect these areas from inappropriate development, but we cannot achieve this alone. Find out how you can help.
