Following on from the success of the Solid Energy Centre, this project is the next stage in the Buller Vision 2010 master planning prokject commenced by BGBBTA in 2005. After years of local debate as to the future of the much loved St James Theatre in Westport, the building was demolished under urgency due to the discovery of serious decay in its primary structure. Relocation of sporting and leisure activities from the community hall in Wesport's mainstreet saw this building looking for a new use and after analysis of a number of options the hall was selected as the site for a new 400 seat auditorium and boutique cinema complex. This 400 seat auditorium and boutique cinema complex is part of the Buller Vision 2010 master planning conducted by BGBBTA.
