Having been successful in the first Expression of Interest round to obtain $2 million plus GST as a grant from Create NSW, the Friends of the Liberty Theatre and Cultural Centre, as an incorporated association, has been invited to submit an application to secure the funds needed to restore the Art Deco building as a theatre, performance space and multi-purpose cultural centre.
The Liberty Theatre in Yass was built and opened in December 1939 and the building today contains many original features. One of these is the original green carpet which still lines the aisles in the upstairs dress circle.
In 2024, the Friends of the Liberty have achieved major improvements to ensure the association is ready to restore and manage the iconic 1939 Art Deco theatre.
