Avonside Amphitheatre

EVImg18.jpg

·  A new outdoor venue for community concerts and performances.

·  Set within in the proposed river park on a bend in the river in Avonside.

·  The bank on the outer bend would be shaped into a stepped embankment amphitheatre for audience seating while on the opposite bank in the inside of the bend (Richmond side) would be the stage.

Considerations:

·  Safety at the waters edge.

·  Embankment would need to be maintained (mowed).

·  3-phase electric supply would be required for the stage area.

·  Consider acoustic sound shell for non-electric sound amplification eg for theatre performances.

·  Audience space would need to be easily accessible to car parking and cycle and walkways.

·  Stage area would need an access road for equipment delivery, etc.
