NEW STAGE at Lennox Head Cultural Centre

The Lennox Head Cultural Centre now boasts a bigger and better stage to attract more events and performances to the centre, thanks to funding from Ballina Shire Council and Council’s team of skilled carpenters.

The new 12 by 5.3 metre stage is part of Council’s plan to continue to develop the venue and provide a professional, industry standard performance space to meet the growing needs of the community.

“Wow! It’s such a great addition and benefit to the community that will attract a variety of performances to the Lennox Head Cultural Centre. To have a local facility with such a large stage will mean so much for our dancers. They work and train so hard, it means they will be able to shine on stage and show their love of dance,” said Kerren Kernaghan, owner of Heart of Dance and committee member for the North Coast Dance Festival.

“I’d like to say a big thank you to Ballina Shire Council. The dance community have been asking for a larger stage at the venue and Council has delivered. There is a real economic benefit for productions, as we no longer need to hire a dance floor or larger stage, it’s a win-win.” Ms Kernaghan continued.

The Lennox Head Cultural Centre is fast becoming the cultural and social hub for the Northern Rivers, attracting a variety of performances and events to Lennox Head.

“There is no other venue quite like it in the area that can accommodate small to large groups under the one roof, provide the flexibility of spaces. It's a place for the community to gather at an affordable rate as well as the facilities to hold everything from live music, performance and film to gala dinners,” said Roberta O’Brien, Community Facilities Coordinator.
