Looks like there is still possibly the base of the snack bar/projector room? Possibly the faint hint of the exit road on Murby Street? Still see the entrance road around the remains of the ticket booth at the end of John Street. Possibly still a metal building close to the North West of the remains of the ticket booth(maintenance shed?)?
In August 2024, nothing remains, except some rubble and by the looks of it, the old field has been bulldozed flat. There are a few broken bricks marking the location of the old ticket booth, that is it.
On Google Street View, there is a small metal building(Maintenance building?),(with an open door) can be seen to the right(approaching the rubble of the drive-in’s ticket booth.
You can see the base of the ticket booth on Google Street view.
Closed in 1987.
A Google Street View from 2015 shows the screen is gone. You can still see some of the ramps, but if there are any speaker poles left, I cannot see them.
Built and operated by Joe Rourke(1964 to 1972). Sold in 1972 after Joe Rourk’s death to Allen Jones(from Busselton)(1972 to early 1980’s). The drive-in closed in the early 1980’s.
What remains of the Kojonup Drive-in has been heritage listed by the Shire of Kojonup(date of listing unknown?).
