There are really two different sets of cinemas being discussed here. The original 1992 complex, located in the shopping centre’s basement, was obliterated upon its closure and replaced with various different facilities over the years, including a trampoline gym.
The second complex is on the rooftop of the centre, in a newly constructed area. It really has nothing to do with the earlier multiplex other than the fact that it was built under the aegis of the same shopping centre.
The article should probably note that although the Roseway has now been demolished, the neon sign was salvaged and is planned to be displayed at the National Neon Sign Museum at The Dalles, Oregon.
The five stained glass window displays also survived, although one was stolen soon after the fire. One, displaying the theater’s logo, will also go to the Neon Sign Museum, while the others have been donated to the nearby Hollywood Theatre for display.
The timing in this article is incorrect. The premiere of The Squatter’s Daughter was 29 September 1933, which was when it was renamed the Civic Theatre. It had already abandoned its all-Australian policy by 1935.

Actually the Rapallo was built on the site of Colonial No 1. Colonial No 2 was demolished for the construction of the Plaza Theatre, across the road.
