The main auditorium and the grand lobby on the first floor will be revamped, meaning the building would become a “modern-day theatre”, Mr Sellars said.
CRC’s plans include a ground-floor coffee shop and office space on the second floor.
Mr Sellars said the upgraded cinema building would be ideal for meetings, classes, functions and events.
He said the plan would “restore this treasured building to its former glory”.
“It will be a community institution, a local destination, and a local icon,” he said.
