A project to offer a permanent outdoor cinema area to provide entertainment for the Brisbane community has been submitted to the Brisbane City Council.

The cinema, which has been proposed for Kelvin Grove’s McCaskie Park, will cover 1.3-hectares and will feature a stage area with a drop-down screen and an audio-visual unit.

The council’s field service chairman Peter Matic says the cinema will be a perfect place for family movies, short film screenings, or as part of twilight community festivals.

The venue will provide a valuable outlet for emerging musical and theatre artists.
