Striking architectural design
Bunjil Place is situated in Melbourne's outer-city suburb Narre Warren and offers a state of the art new facility to contribute to the ever evolving local community in the City of Casey.
It has an 880 seat regional theatre, exhibition and function studios, a regional art gallery, community library and plaza, civic centre, council offices and an underground car park.
The iconic roof structure is designed to resemble the soaring eagles’ wings and the world-renowned timber gridshell in the foyer acting as the legs.
Bunjil Place is a prime location for residents, and is walking distance to the Westfield's Fountain gate, Casey Aquatic Recreational Centre and easily accessible public transport. This asset adds another cultural dimension that will bring a strong cultural output to the local community.
