The restaurant is called “The Lemon Grass Thai Restaurant”.
The theatre building was partly used from the begining as a car showroom(Radio Motors). Radio Motors closed in 1976. The Radio Theatre Building since closure(second time) has been used as a pizza shop, 24 hour hot food/ice cream cafe/restaurant, and a leisure centre. The church(Potters House Christian Community church) has moved out to a new location in Getaldton(use of that part of the Radio Theatre unknown?). The Thai restaurant is still there. There is also an art shop(or art gallery?) there(left hand side of building, name unknown?) there too!!
Classified by the National Trust on 1/10/1989. State Heritage register 1060, 16/12/2000.
Opened on 9/4/1937 with “China seas” and “Millions in the air”.
Closed on 29/10/1971 with “Way way out” and “The vengeance of she”. Closed on 8/6/1987 with “Secret of my success” at 1.00pm and 5.00pm and “Something wild” at 9.00pm.
To the left of the former Potters House church(the name is still there above the old theatre doors) is an art centre(Yamji Art).
