Original Building

We used to visit the theatres at Little Malop Street a lot before the new development started. Unfortunately, we didn’t get many photos.
I got photos of the Little Malop Street Arts Precinct in May, 2020. We also got photos of the building after GPAC had rebranded to the Geelong Arts Centre.
Demolishing the Buildings
Two buildings were demolished as part of this development. One was the former GPAC building. The other was the former Barwon Health building,

In September, I noticed that this building had been boarded up. The building started to be demolished in November. I shared photos of there developments at 40 Little Malop Street Is Being Demolished.
By December 11, the building had been completely demolished.
