The Royal Automobile Club of Victoria has recognised the West Gippsland Arts Centre as one of Victoria’s top eight regional theatres.

Located in Warragul, Baw Baw Shire’s largest population centre, the WGAC is the region's leading performing arts and cultural space. The RACV, in a recent survey of top regional theatres, named the Arts Centre at number seven alongside world class Victorian theatres including Her Majesty’s Ballarat, Ulumbarra Theatre in Bendigo and the Geelong Arts Centre. 

The Arts Centre underwent a major $13.4 million redevelopment project in 2017 that saw the facility refurbished and expanded to better serve the needs of the local creative community. 

Following a two-year COVID impacted hiatus, the Arts Centre as it celebrates its return to live entertainment playing host to a range of hit shows and community focused events. 

Recent hit shows and sell outs including Human Nature, Kate Miller-Heidke, the Wiggles and the return of the highly regarded West Gippsland Dance Festival, show that the community is keener than ever to experience live performances in a state-of-the-art facility.  

The Arts Centre is also preparing to host sell-out crowds at the upcoming Guy Sebastian T.R.U.T.H. On The East Side Tour and Bjorn Again-Mamma Mia in November along with an anticipated array of  shows and events for the year ahead.

Baw Baw Shire Mayor Michael Leaney advised “it comes as no surprise to us that the West Gippsland Arts Centre has been recognised as one of the best regional theatres in Victoria!

“From its high-quality function spaces to its long list of exciting shows and performances - the Arts Centre holds up to its reputation as the region's leading performing arts and cultural space.

“We look forward to seeing the line-up of shows and entertainment set to hit the stage in the coming year. It’s sure to pack in the crowds, from Baw Baw and beyond.”
