Collingwood Underground Car Park
Collingwood Housing Estate,
44 Harmsworth Street, Collingwood

Originally a large, abandoned underground carpark, the space has been transformed into a contempory art gallery, theatre, music venue and space.

Collingwood Underground Theatre

In 2001, CHEAC (the Collingwood Housing Estate Action Committee) was formed. It included estate and private residents, members of Collingwood Neighbourhood House and local arts community representatives.

Their attention soon focused on a large disused underground parking lot on the Collingwood public housing estate. Spurred by its potential as a multipurpose community and arts venue, negotiations began with the Office of Housing to secure access and funding.

CHEAC organised the renovation and reopening of the space and continue to oversee its use as an art gallery, theatre, meeting place, music venue, recording studio and community event space.

Alternate address: 229 & 253 Hoddle Street, Collingwood 3066
