Statement of Significance

The Sun Theatre remains, albeit on a small scale, as the only fully articulated (internally and externally) example in Victoria of the streamlined moderne style, a style (Art Deco) associated closely with the public concept of cinema architecture. Also it appears to be the first design in Victoria to introduce a one-level parabolic floor section in place of the stalls and circle formula previously used in theatre design.
