The Round is the new cultural hub for the Whitehorse community. Welcoming and inspiring, it is a place for both everyday and special events. As a premiere performance and events facility, it is home to a diverse range of local community and business groups, artists, performers and patrons alike.

The building’s curvaceous perimeter creates a series of opportunities for placemaking and community programming. Unified by the use of bricks— some big, some small—each of the building's five faces forges a robust, enduring and proudly civic presence that responds to its immediate context.

The new precinct integrates architecture, landscape, ecology and infrastructure into a new and engaging model for a suburban civic centre.
