INFORMATION ON THE FACILITIES

Foyer
On entering the foyer, the most impressionable aspect is the Bicentennial Ceramic Mural erected on the centre wall.

This magnificent mural was designed and created by local artists John and Maureen Morrison and is three-dimensional fired clay, depicting the history and development of Roma and district. The sculptural elements of the 18m2 mural range from a low of 25cm to a high of almost 50cm from the surface.

Approximately two tonnes of special clay mix was used in the construction, which occupied the artist and his wife for around 350 hours with slab work, sculpture and coil building, sectioning, hollowing and numbering each tile section.

The foyer itself is the centre of the entire building. The area is fully tiled and features a striking panel ceiling, which incorporates lighting and sound for the mural and the water element at the base of the mural.

Auditorium
Across the foyer to the left is the Auditorium, the area for theatrical performances or cultural functions.

The dimensions of the Auditorium are as follows:

The area has a seating capacity of 500 with the ability to expand by opening the Ernest Brock Function Room.

A prominent feature of the Auditorium is the timber, which is local cypress pine treated with a gloss varnish finish. The timber used for the floor and stage is brush box.

The stage is 11 metres wide by 15 metres long with an 11 metre opening, having the ability to cater for full scale productions. The stage is equipped with lighting facilities and a Yamaha grand piano of polished ebony is located on the stage area.

Ernest Brock Function Room
The Ernest Brock Function room adjoins the Auditorium (by means of a dividing screen) and has an area of approximately 300m2 with the ability to hold almost 350 people. The room is used for a variety of functions with seminars and workshops being very popular. Also situated in this room is an upright piano.

A duel kitchen/bar has also been provided to service both the Auditorium and Ernest Brock Function room, allowing the two areas to be operated as a whole or individually, depending on the function being held.

Administration Centre
The Roma Town Council Administration and Council Chambers are located in the centre, as it was Council's original idea that the administration of the Centre be effectively controlled from within. Council provides officers to oversee the organization and planning of particular functions and to assist with setting up and enquiries.

The Roma Town Council holds a liquor licence, which covers private functions held in the centre. For public functions, however, the hirer must obtain their own licence.

For large functions, parking is available at the rear of the centre on a bitumen area.
