Background
The Biennale at White Bay Power Station is proving to be an extraordinary success. Having advocated for so many years to have the power station converted to an arts and cultural venue, it’s vital that Council continue to progress this vision.
The incredible spaces within the power station lend themselves to a variety of live performance. Making use of the power station as a live performance and concert venue will require a consent, which should be progressed now.
