The long-awaited new theatre for QPAC (Queensland Performing Arts Centre) is set to open in 2026. Last week, the Queensland Government opened consultation for Queenslanders, who can now vote on their favourite name for the new theatre or suggest an alternative on Arts Queensland’s website. The theatre opening has long been delayed, missing the beginning of Rachel Healy’s tenure as CEO and the Centre’s 40th birthday celebration last weekend.
The public can choose from four pre-selected names or offer an original idea, and submissions will close at 5pm on Saturday 10 May. Minister for the Arts John-Paul Langbroek has explained the origins of the four names.
