A project milestone has been reached on the refurbishment of the B-listed Perth Theatre.

An air handling plant is due to be craned into position next week to fit the new extension roof of the theatre. When the air handling plant is in place, the roof will be substantially complete and the internal fit out can then begin throughout the building. The plant is scheduled to be craned into position on Tuesday, 28 March.

The Theatre's refurbishment forms a key project in the council's plans to regenerate the city centre and Mill Street.

Once completed, Mill Street will be transformed into a vibrant thoroughfare linking together the city's major cultural buildings - the newly refurbished Perth Theatre,  Perth Concert Hall and the City's Museum and Art Gallery.
