Subiaco Oval is being demolished(july to september 2019) except for the heritage listed gates, some of the grandstands,the grass footy pitch and the footpath and Sandover Medal paving stones outside the footy grounds site. The site will have houses/apartments around the oval on some of the three sides of the oval. On the eastern side of the oval they are a building a new school(Bob Hawke College), the school may use the oval for school sport too!?
Opened with a Mickey Mouse cartoon(Mickey the mouse), news, featurettes(not named?), and “Gold diggers of Broadway”. When it opened, it was advertised as Queensland’s only atmospheric theatre. That corner the tram(in the photo above), is turning on, looks a bit tight to turn on i think!?
The site is now a supermarket(Aldi), a health spa(Endota), a hair salon(Sheek Hair design), a restaurant(Nando’s), a bakery and cafe(Rustic), a framing store(Frameworks), a pizza shop(Crust), and some apartments on tne two upper floors above the shops.
