Council is proud to announce that construction of Whitehorse’s new performing arts centre, The Round, is complete. 

Our first shows in the venue have been a great success, and we held our official Opening Night concert and celebration on Friday 13 October, 2023. 

This $78m project represents a significant step forward in the City of Whitehorse’s artistic evolution. It is also the new cornerstone of Council’s commitment to provide for a creative community that is vibrant, diverse and engaged through our arts, culture and heritage.
