The Red Earth Arts Precinct provides a contemporary performing arts centre and community hub that will meet community needs well into the future. It forms a civic heart at the entrance to the city centre and contributes to Karratha’s viability and vitality.
The precinct comprises of the following key components:
- 450 seat theatre (performing arts);
- Entry foyer;
- Outdoor event space (amphitheatre);
- Staff administration office accommodation;
- Library (incorporating local history) and;
- Roof top terrace.
The fact that works were undertaken in a cyclone region, coupled with the very complicated interfaces between the structure, roof and façade made this an extremely challenging project that we are extremely proud of.
