The Kambalda Drive-In(also called Silver Lake Drive-In) opened in November 1969. It was located in the bush on the eastern side of Atriplex Road. The drive-in closed in the 1970’s or 1980’s. The dome concession building was moved to the Kambalda West township to use as a video library located at 10 Irish Mulga Drive. The video library has closed, but the dome remails is situ in 2024. The ramps and entrance and exit road of the drive-in remain.

The video library(old dome concession building) is called K-Assaad Video Library & Secondhand Shop(10 Irish Mulga Drive, Kamblada West).
The roof of the building can seen on Google Earth(it’s the round building!). Some of the building can be seen on Instant Google Street view from Salmon Gums Road around the intersection of Irish Mulga Drive!
Closed in mid or late 1980’s.
Closed in 1983? The video library in the former come concession building closed in(January?) 2023(possibly the last operating video library in Western Australia?). The building is currently still for salei think(after the owners try selling 10,000 DVDs(and Blu-rays?)?
A closer address is 2 Atriplex Rd, Kambalda West WA 6442, Australia.
This puts it near the entrance road.
The outline, ramps, and foundations of the projection booth and concession stand remain.

The concession stand, which was moved to 10 Irish Mulga Drive as indicated by davidcoppack, appears in a July 2024 Google Street View.
The business appears closed, but the structure is still intact.
The video library in that old dome operated inside there for 40 years. I think there might still some old video library posters visible on the 2 front doors?
