Parts of Queensland Performing Arts Centre may be demolished to allow the construction of a new 1,500-1,700-seat theatre.
Ahead of this year’s budget, Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk announced the $150 million performing arts venue would be built at the Playhouse Green at South Bank, and that part of QPAC’s existing fabric may need to be demolished to provide the new theatre “appropriate dimensions”.
However, heritage and conservations elements are of high importance for the project due to its location within the Queensland Cultural Centre, which was heritage-listed and subject to a conservation management plan.
