Description
English: Twin Plaza arcade in Baylis Street in the heart of Wagga Wagga CBD, New South Wales, Australia. The building, known as The Plaza Theatre, was constructed in 1933 on the site of the Strand Theatre which was destroyed in a fire in 1932. Hoyts Theatres purchased the theatre in 1946 when the company acquired JK Capitol which also owned the Capitol Theatre in Wagga along with a number of other theatre's in New South Wales. In 1978 the theatre was sold to Hipada Pty Ltd, owned by a local group of businessmen, after Hoyts pulled out of the regional theatre market and focus on its metropolitan theatres. During the late 1970s and early 1980s the theatre was to be redeveloped however it was leased out with the building being closed in 1983 but the building has was used as a ice skating rink, a book store and a temporary store for Best & Less. In February 1989 as part of a major redevelopment the Twin Plaza Cinema would be part of the project however it was put into doubt in March 1989 after the requirement to install a sprinkler system, part of the fire regulations, was going to cost a minimum AU$100,000. In July 1989 the developers changed the design to being the costs to a manageable level. The Twin Plaza Cinema was opened in early 1990 and operated until 1997 when the Forum 6 cinemas was constructed in Trail Street. Late 1990s the building was redeveloped into small shops and offices. The building's facade has an Mediterranean influence with the sloping tiled pediment and the high white walls broken by circular cinema friezes.
