Goldfields Repertory Club keeps fighting to fund $6.5 million rebuild

Key points

• The future of the Goldfields Repertory Club remains uncertain as volunteers work to raise $6.5 million to rebuild its run-down Brookman Street theatre. The 95-year-old club received $50,000 of the $97,000 it asked for from the City of Kalgoorlie-Boulder.
• Vice-president Norma Latchford said the club will now approach local companies for support. Significant deterioration has ruled out renovation, so a full rebuild is the only option.
• A $50,000 grant will fund a $195,000 project to prepare construction plans, which would allow the club to seek larger grants.
