Wyong Performing Arts Centre

The Wyong Art House comprises a 500 - seat variable theatre, performance studio, associated support space, naturally lit foyer, café and courtyard, all built to a modest budget.


The project brief was to establish a venue for the growing established and emerging musical, dance and theatre companies in the region.


At the street edge, the Wyong Art House foyer is flanked by a series of ‘house sized’ forms of similar scale to the suburban houses to the north of the site. Located over these ‘houses’ is a floating foyer roof that makes a welcoming gesture to the ANZAC Parade and Margaret Street corner, while establishing a scale compatible to the adjacent Council Chambers to the south.


The theatre has a central bank of seating and elevated side galleries, with a fully equipped lyric stage and fly tower. The sight lines have been computer modeled, and the sound performance designed to exacting standards.
