COVID - 19 Update 22 June 2020
The following is the current status of the Rex referencing
changes to the Victorian Covid 19 restrictions.
Due to a number of factors it is not viable for the Rex to
return to operation just yet.
With Hollywood withholding new film releases until the world
market is stronger, the reduction in the number of attendees,
and with concern for the safety of our patrons and volunteers,
the Rex Board is undertaking a month by month review of the
situation and will keep the community informed through updates
on our digital media platforms and through local press outlets.
While we regret the ongoing delay and understand the community’s
desire to return to normality, it is essential that continued health
compliance and availability of product are in hand before we re-open.
We thank you for your patience, and look forward to soon
welcoming you back to the Rex.
