Liberty Theatre

‘New’ projection and sound equipment along with interior decoration work, re-seating, and improved heating were all tried over the years in order to give life to the Liberty, but the theater continued to struggle in finding an audience - even on Saturday nights. The arrival of snowy Sydney TV images in the late 1950s was the final straw. Screenings seem to have ceased by early 1959 and a license renewal was not applied for when due on 23rd October that year. Official de-listing as a pubic performance hall took place 22nd August 1962. By early 1960 the Liberty auditorium was being used as a youth club sponsored by the Leura Returned Services League (a community group formed for military veterans) who proceeded to purchase the property.
