The Embassy Theatre, Central Hotel, and King’s Café are coming together to form Maryborough’s new cultural precinct — a destination dedicated to live entertainment and community connection. These historic venues, once central to the city’s social life, are being reimagined as vibrant spaces for performances, music, events, and creative gatherings. By honouring their heritage while embracing new possibilities, the precinct will provide a stage for local talent, attract visitors to the Fraser Coast, and restore a sense of cultural energy to Maryborough’s heart.
The Embassy Theatre, Central Hotel, and King’s Café are more than historic buildings — they are landmarks of Maryborough’s cultural identity. Each played a central role in the city’s social life, from grand film screenings and lively pub gatherings to dances and community celebrations. Together, they embody the spirit of connection and creativity that has shaped Maryborough for generations. Restoring them is not only about preserving heritage, but about reigniting the city’s heart as a vibrant centre for entertainment and community life on the Fraser Coast.
All of our Heritage Advice is managed through our partner company Converge Heritage + Community to ensure that the legacy is respected.
