“Council is aware the Tors Drive-In issued a social media post this afternoon announcing their decision to close.
We are also acutely aware the Tors Drive-In claims this decision is due to Council opening The World Theatre complex, which includes cinema, in 1996.
Our position is that The World Theatre offers a different, and valued, experience for our community members than the Tors Drive-In, and that it is part of the cultural fabric of our town and region.
We feel for Steve and Deb Snell that they have reached this decision, however Council will be continuing to offer its cinema operations, as part of the overall offering at The World Theatre, for our community.”
