In 2009, the Gwydir Shire Council and the Bingara Historical Society were successful in their joint application for Federal funding to reinstate the Greek café within the Roxy building.
A grant of $750,000 was announced for the restoration of the Roxy original Greek art deco café, construction of a conference centre on the first floor and restoration of the art deco shopfront.
The Roxy Café Restoration Project is underway, and is on course to meet the June 30 deadline for completion. Until this time there will be very few events held at The Roxy.
News articles following this exciting project, from the day of its announcement, are listed below.
