DEAR News Of The Area,

WE will entertain you hopefully one day with a decent size entertainment centre in Coffs Harbour.

Currently, the only very limited sized venues available are Jetty Theatre, Cavanbah Hall, R.S.L, Bray St Sports Central, Park Beach Bowling Club, local pubs, a few resorts and the Advocate footy field.

Country towns like Tamworth have a population of 63,480 residents and their entertainment centre holds 4,800, bringing in millions of dollars to the town.

In 2021 our population is 78,759 and our largest venue holds a measly 500 (approximately).

The new green WHY building in Gordon St holds even less.

Would those folk that are going to see Russell Crowe at the Hoey Moey next week mention our desperate need for a centre?

He even may donate to a funding page and we can call it after him.

We need to fight for this venue, like we’re the third monkey on the ramp of Noah’s Ark… and brother, it’s startin’ to rain.

Regards,
Phyllis TAYLOR,
Coffs Harbour.
