“TRACC will complement the main Theatre and the Church Theatre and provide a much-needed medium sized venue for this region, accommodation performances, education programs, specialised technical training and it will also cater for social occasions and corporate events,”

Toowoomba Regional Council (TRC) in partnership with Empire Theatres was seeking to create a new bespoke Performance Venue within the existing Empire Theatre Precinct. The proposed Theatre referred to as the Toowoomba Regional Arts Community Centre (TRACC) will provide a flexible environment, capable of accommodating the diverse uses anticipated by the Empire Theatres. This will include performance space with retractable seating for up to 288 patrons, function space for approximately 300 in a dinner setting, trade show opportunities, theatre / stage / technical training with Schools / TAFE’s and Universities, community theatre groups and movies in addition to the necessary support spaces and meeting areas.
