Support NORPA’s vision in our very first step to establish our new home at The Joinery – purchase the site! 

Your donation now will secure NORPA’s future and our vision for a transformative contemporary creative facility in Lismore, ultimately designed to be flood-resilient, climate-adaptive and fit for purpose professional creative facility. 

Housed in the historic Hampton & Larsson timber factory, The Joinery will drive community renewal, amplify creative expression and foster artistic growth in the Northern Rivers. 

We must raise $600,000 to secure the 3000sqm site, catalysing a $9.1 million development. We have a limited window to secure this property and set this visionary project in motion. Your decision to invest now will determine the cultural and economic trajectory of an entire region for decades to come.  
 
As a Donor to NORPA’s The Joinery in this first stage of our journey, you’ll join a circle of cultural heroes shaping the creative and cultural life of the Northern Rivers. Ultimately, your contribution legacy will be the creation of a dynamic home for regional theatre - supporting rehearsals, performances, workshops and programs that celebrate our region’s unique stories and vibrant spirit. 
 
And in being one of our first, you will receive named acknowledgement across the life of our project and within our new home, sharing in special moments throughout this journey and future activations of the cultural hub.
