Riverside Theatre Redevelopment

The redevelopment of Riverside Theatres is one of the most exciting cultural development projects to be undertaken in NSW in years. Architects and designers have contributed their ingenuity, innovation, imagination, creativity and design talent to shape the future of a reimagined Riverside Theatres.

The highly anticipated winning design, led by COX Architecture with 3XN Architects, Aileen Sage, Turf Design Studio and Bangawarra, will more than double Riverside Theatres’ current capacity. With an iconic design, the venue will become a world-class performing arts centre, welcoming more than 400,000 visitors per year.

The reimagined Riverside Theatres is designed with First Nations inspired interiors, crafted with global best-practice standards, with a strong focus on accessibility and artistic flexibility.

The redevelopment is proposed to include a 1,500-seat Broadway-style lyric theatre, a refurbished 700-seat Riverside Playhouse theatre, an all-new 325-seat black-box drama theatre, a state-of-the-art 110-seat digital studio and cinema with enhanced public spaces.

Construction of the reimagined Riverside Theatres will start in late 2025, with doors to Western Sydney’s newest performing arts centre set to open in 2028.
