About Wyndham Cultural Centre
|
Wyndham Cultural Centre The Wyndham Cultural Centre at 177 Watton St, Werribee was officially opened on 12 May, 2001. The $5 million state-of-the-art centre houses the Tattersall's Theatre, two exhibition galleries, the CBD library, Visitor Information Centre and cafe. Wyndham Cultural Centre is proudly owned and managed by Wyndham City Council. It consists of the 477 seat Tattersall's Theatre, with full Fly Tower & Orchestra Pit, The CBD Library, 2 Gallery Spaces & Cafe. Located in the foyer is the Visitor Information Centre. The main entrance is located at 177 Watton Street, Werribee. The Stage Door and Loading Dock are located at the rear of the building, on Synnot Street. Formerly Centenary hall, the building is owned by the Wyndham City Council and therefore the residents of Wyndham. Centenary Hall was a common meeting place for community groups to gather and participate in functions such as Deb Balls, presentations, awards ceremonies and social activities such as dances and wedding celebrations. The most gruesome use of the hall was to hold immunisations which many residents will remember not so fondly!
Building works began in 1999 and the new Wyndham Cultural Centre was opened in May 2001.
There are several original features remaining of the former Centenary Hall including the western supporting wall, the original staircase that leads to the gallery and the wooden floor in the library, which was formally the supper room. The most distinguishing feature is that of the 8m flytower, which transformed the old Centenary hall stage area into a fully functional theatre.
The foyer has many interesting plaques, which pay homage to the supporters of the venue in both its heyday as Centenary Hall and as the Wyndham Cultural Centre. There is also a time capsule buried in the floor of the foyer and will be opened in 2051. It contains pictures and memorabilia of the former Centenary Hall and the original concept plans for the current building.
The logo for the venue was launched in June 2002 and depicts the 4 major features of the building
The colours depict those used in the Building design. The 4 blocks represent the 4 major uses of the Centre: the Library, Theatre, Gallery and the offices of the Economic Development Unit.
The 'Wave' ties in with the Council logo and the path of the river, which is the backbone of the area. It also is representative of our art glass in the foyer grand hall.
