The sites for development and parking.

Proposal The application is to use and develop the site into a commercial theatre and education centre through the adaptive re-use of the prison site and its buildings. The theatre would be a shared facility, managed by the City of Greater Bendigo as a community facility, but also used by the College for events during and outside normal school hours. The education centre would form part of the Bendigo Senior Secondary College campus. The theatre will be used by the school, mostly during school hours and sometimes after hours and by the community. The main other uses are expected to be for: events staged by other schools and LaTrobe University, concerts, theatre productions, performances, company and community gatherings, conferences and conventions. No limitation has been proposed on operating hours.
