Project update September 2024

The Hopgood Theatre refurbishment is progressing steadily with construction being delivered through two project phases. The first phase, the renewal of the building’s roof sheeting, is currently underway and is being undertaken by TAFE SA. This phase addresses the existing roof issues and provides a solid foundation for the subsequent internal upgrades.

As the roof renewal project nears completion, we are actively working on the tender process for the internal refurbishment works, which will be overseen by the Council. The internal refurbishment is expected to commence in late 2024 and will resume in January 2025 after the Christmas closure. The project is anticipated to be fully completed by late 2025, delivering a revitalised theatre with technological enhancements and upgraded amenities to attract diverse performances opportunities and strong audiences in the future.

Playground closure

The adjoining playground in Ramsay Place has been temporarily closed for safety reasons to accommodate the refurbishment works. We understand the inconvenience this may cause to the community, and we appreciate your patience during this time. The playground will remain closed until the refurbishment is complete, and we look forward to reopening it as a safe and enjoyable space for everyone.
