The Palace nightclub refered to and pictured in the article was located in Melbourne suburb of St. Kilda, adjacent to the historic Palais Theatre. It was destroyed by fire a couple of months ago (the Palais was not affected and is being restored) and the operators of the former Palace Nightclub have now re-located to the former Metro Theatre in Bourke Street, re-naming it Palace Theatre, a name it had many years ago.
Here is a photograph of the Ramba Theatre (scroll down and click to enlarge):

Thanks Lost Memory, ‘Continentale’ is the correct spelling, I will make amends above.
Oh! So maybe they added some screens!
The figures I give in the opening comments were correct in September 1995 when the Cinema Theatre Association(UK) visited the building.
Maybe Kinepolis have reduced the number of screens by 3 in the intervening years?
There are many photographs and details here (thanks to Howard B. Haas for the link):
