The initial Proserpine Entertainment Centre was a community hub that
hosted a variety of events from weddings to musical performances
and community gatherings. In 2017, cyclone Debbie severely damaged
the existing building and after unsuccessfully trying to repair it, it was
decided that it would be condemned and rebuilt as a brand new state of-
the-art facility.

The project was broken into two delivery sections. Videopro were first
awarded the infrastructure installation project for the theatre, working
with Hutchinson Builders while the Audio Visual hardware package was
out for tender. Videopro were then able to secure the hardware package
at a later date. The hardware package was managed through Ranbury
Management Group and both parts of the project took 18 months to
deliver to completion.

The project includes a new multi-purpose auditorium and stage,
retractable tiered seating with 380 seats, kitchen, café, bar, ticketing
area, amenities and dressing rooms. Other features include a garden and
street foyer, cinema screen, art installation, loading dock and scenery
dock, technical theatre equipment and outdoor performance area.


The auditorium consists of a single, flat-floor space which utilises
motorised, retractable seating to cater for traditional theatre, music and
cinema seating modes. The flat-floor mode will be used for a variety of
purposes including celebrations, exhibitions, dances and some concerts
with or without use of the stage. Loose seating is available for the flat floor
events and can be stored away when not in use. The stage opening
can also be varied with adjustable drapes at the sides and top for different
production styles.

Videopro consulted with Phil Viney from Design Stage to ensure the theatre aspects of the project were considered and suitable. Being a state-of-the-art new-build, a lot of thought and planning was put into the multiple user cases that the AV in the building would need to perform. The new design allows for flexible configurations and presentation points.

The control room (or biobox) is located on level one at the rear of the
auditorium, directly behind the retractable seating. This space holds
equipment and racks for sound, lighting and vision control, as well as
a Sony 10,000 lumen laser projector. This is paired with a 200” Screen
Technics motorised screen for presentations.
The theatre audio utilises a flown Meyer LINA line array audio solution
with eight boxes per hang, along with a single Meyer subwoofer. Ten QSC
surround loudspeakers were added for when the theatre is in cinema
mode alongside a custom 375” Screen Technics cinemascope roller
screen.
The stage lighting is provided by approximately 50 lighting fixtures from
various manufacturers on motorised lighting bars.
Crestron touch panels are located at multiple locations around the
theatre for easy-to-use control.

The Proserpine Entertainment Centre is a challenging place to get to especially by Videopro staff based in Brisbane. In addition to this, the project took place in the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic, making travel and collaboration even more challenging. Videopro were able to, along with the other parties involved in the project, complete the project successfully despite these adversities.
