The Beechline Drive-In(named after the suburb of Beechboro to the southeast of Ballajura, the area is popularly described as Beechboro!) on 25th February 1972 with “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid”. The Beechline Drive-In closed on 29th June 1988 with “Crocodile Dundee 2” and “Masters of the Universe”. The drive-in was built for City Theatres, they bought and installed the 70mm projectors from the Central 70 Drive-In in Centential Park(Albany) in 1983. Bought by Hoyts in 1988 and closed and put on the market for $300,000(Australian), but was slow to sell. Potter’s House Christian Centre is now on the site(entrance from Marshall Road side). The entrance road(on Beechboro Road) and gate(and fence?), some of the ramps(and screen(or base)?) remain.

The Potter House Church building might be the original snack bar(and bio box?) building?
758 cars. Also a seating area next to the self service snack bar for 40 patrons.
The Church building isn’t the snack bar, also half of the ramps still exist and the other half have been regraded into a proper car park.
The entrance and exit roads(some and fences and gates?) are still there.
