Star 4.6 (50 Google reviews)
Comprising Saltwater Busselton and the Old Courthouse Complex, the Busselton Cultural Precinct presents a rich tapestry of art, culture and history. It’s where our past meets our future; a place creatives and history buffs visit to indulge and share their passion.

Located in Busselton’s thriving CBD, Saltwater Busselton is now open for events, shows and exhibitions.

Owned and managed by the City of Busselton, this brand-new venue features a Convention Centre, an A-Class Art Gallery and a 640-seat theatre.

A selection of shows will be presented in the upstairs theatre while works are finalised in the theatre and tickets are now available at the Box Office (open 10am – 4pm daily) and online. 

Situated across the road from the region's new performance space and convention centre, the Old Courthouse Complex buildings are among the oldest in Busselton. This site of historical significance is an established hub for art lovers, culture seekers and history buffs alike. 

Immerse yourself in the harrowing tale of the S.S. Georgette shipwreck as you take in the fascinating exhibition in The Courtroom, before heading to the Old Busselton Gaol to learn about the misdemeanours and lived experiences of notorious prisoners and other locals from a bygone era in the audio-visual display within the gaol cells.

Admire local art on display and enjoy a coffee and a tasty treat at the Old Post Office Cafe.

I visited for the Regional Arts Triennial exhibition. A remarkable cultural experience. The value of being able to walk through and learn about the colonial history cannot be understated, we don’t have that ability up north, so I appreciate being able to do so here. Thank you to the staff and volunteers for your careful curation, what a sensational pool of artists you have filling your walls and stores! Busselton should be proud of their Triennial artists & curators. Look forward to visiting again soon!

It was great to wander through the old gaol and get the feel of what it was like. It's awesome that it has been restored and put use. The Courthouse itself is now a painting gallery.

Very nice small gallery, I live locally and visit every month or two too see exhibition. Particularly like August / September when they have the Busselton art prize on. The caliber is impressive and they always get a good mix of sculpture, painting and other media Recommend a visit
