Pioneer Village Theatre and Cinema

Hello everyone and anyone, I'm writing to see if I can get some feedback on the Pioneer Village Theatre /Cinema in Armadale. I've done quite a bit of research about this building and it was last used as a cinema back in Autumn last year (Oct/Nov time). I'm considering emigrating to Australia and I was considering an option to lease this bulding and run it as an independent cinema/theatre. Obviously, this is only a thought at this moment in time. Trouble is I know little about this town only that it seems to be quite a way out of Perth and in a small touristic village of middle class/middle age population. I spoke with the owners agents and they suggested I should do more research and try to contact people who know of the area to get an idea of what they thought. My idea would be to run it as a independent cinema showing independent, art house and quality mainstream films but I don't really know of the likly hood of such a venue working in Armadale as I don't know the place at all. I would dedicate some time over to theatre groups and maybe look at putting on music, cabaret, comedy etc to diversify the programme a bit as I don't think that as a normal cinema it wouldn't be able to compete with the nearby Piccadilly Cinema complex (incidently owned by the same company which is why they closed the Pioneer). There is a real danger that if the owner doesn't find someone to take it on soon he will redevelop it as a Lodgings House - as he already has a few and wants more. I wondered if anyone who knows the area could give my some idea of the area and if they thought such a project would be likely to work in Armadale or would I be committing financial suicide!!?? Thanks in advance for your time and thoughts. Thanks for you help. jonko
