The WRT’s impact extends beyond its physical structure. It will form an arts hub in the central city, complementing existing performing venues such as The Meteor and Clarence St Theatre, as well as the nearby Waikato Museum. “The precinct surrounding the WRT will be vibrant, with creative industries, open courtyards, and public performance spaces. “This integration will activate neighbouring properties and stimulate development throughout the south end of the CBD, enhancing the city’s cultural and entertainment offerings,” explains Gus. The construction of the WRT is scheduled for completion by late 2024, after which the technical equipment will be installed, followed by commissioning. The venue is expected to welcome audiences in early 2025. Gus and Mark say that the Waikato Regional Theatre represents a remarkable achievement in community-driven infrastructure development. “It stands as a testament to the vision, passion, and dedication of the individuals and organizations involved,” says Mark. “The WRT is poised to elevate Hamilton’s cultural scene, celebrate the region’s diversity, and provide a platform for artistic expression,” adds Gus, “all while becoming a focal point for the community to gather, share, and celebrate the spirit of human creativity.”
