Paul Gadenne writes - Just to complete the history, Fiesta Theatre was a picture theatre until the very late 50’s, was converted to a rock dance venue by Roly Burghoff and was the regular venue for Eastern coast act of Ray Hoff & The Offbeats.

Promoter Doug McConnell took over but subsequently handed over to myself, and Peter Anderson & The Midnighters for regular Saturday nights gigs in 1961. We presented regular dances and concerts there for at least a year and ventured to present prominent Australian rock star Barry Stanton in concert with other local stars performing like Johnny Young, Pam Bradley, Kelly Green (then Elaine Sherrit) and numerous others… we never made any money, but we had a lot of fun ..!!

Sarah Hill writes - The 900-seat Fiesta Theatre opened in (1953), but may have been operating before that under a another name. The Fiesta Gardens opened in the late-1950’s. The Fiesta Theatre and Gardens closed in (1960 or 1961?).
