AUSTRALIAN CINEMA & THEATRE DATABASE 

The Cinema and Theatre Historical Society Inc. is compiling a database of all past & present cinema and theatre venues in Australia and New Zealand.

The following Australian states are available for you to search in PDF file format - click on the state name below.

Each state listing is alphabetical by location, you can either scroll through to find what you are after, or use the search button built into your viewer.

         The listing shows the Location, Name (generally the original name), Opening & Closing dates and the Current Status (if known).  Where applicable, Alternative Names for the venue are shown on a second line.

Please note:     We are currently working on all databases - details are being added as time permits.

Please remember this listing will always be a "Work in Progress" and we seek your assistance with updating and adding to the data.  If you live in one of the locations listed, how about checking out your local cinema / theatre venues of the past and present and help update the details. Street Addresses are always most welcome, as most advertising did not show the street address.     Photos of cinemas / theatres are most welcome.
