The Friends of the Performing Arts Precinct Incorporated are based on the NSW Central Coast Region of Australia and represent all forms of performing arts. The Vision of the Friends includes:
an acoustic Concert Hall to seat 1000
a new Conservatorium of Music
a regional Auditorium
performance spaces for dance, drama, bands, singers
a cultural display centre for Indigenous people
cafes, public spaces
The Precinct should be located in an area of visual beauty to benefit the whole community, and be close to public transport. As the regional capital, the Gosford waterfront is the area of choice.
This concept will benefit the whole Central Coast Region by creating:
a centre for cultural display and development
a place for nurturing talent
a national festival venue
a catalyst for economic growth.
FoPAP Activities
The annually elected committee and individual members seek to influence all levels of government, the private sector and philanthropists to secure the design and construction of this much-needed cultural centre to showcase the talents of the NSW Central Coast Region's many musicians, composers, singers, dancers, as well as provide a venue for visiting national and international performing artists to come and inspire our region.
