The Roxy at Parramatta closed as a cinema on March 27, 2002 after 72 years as a cinema.
The building has been sold to a Sydney developer who was not forthcoming (April 2002) about his plans for the jewel of Parramatta. He said that it will continue to operate as an entertainment venue, but it’s too premature to comment on the exact plans.
The building is in need of ‘tender loving care’ because the previous owner (of only a few years) a Hong Kong businessman did not maintain it.
The Roxy is the second cinema in NSW to be classified by the National Trust of Australia.
