Located in the north Melbourne suburb of Moonee Ponds. The Moonee Ponds Theatre opened on 14th December 1911. Seating was provided in stalls and circle levels for around 1,300. Independently operated, it was taken over by Greater Union Theatres in the early-1920’s. In 1937, its operation reverted back to the original independent operator.
In 1939, it was modernised to the plans of architects Cowper, Murphy & Appleford.
The Moonee Theatre was closed on 1st December 1965. It re-opened in 1966 and continued until finally closing in 1980.
