MALTHOUSE THEATRE

Location: Victoria
Installed: 2020

The Problem

Malthouse Theatre required a robust, flexible stage solution capable of supporting professional performances, heavy-duty use, and frequent reconfiguration. As a major cultural venue closely involved with Melbourne City Council, compliance, safety, and structural integrity were critical to the project’s success.

The stage needed to accommodate varying performance requirements while maintaining absolute confidence in load capacity and access safety.

The Constraints

The project presented several important constraints:

• Strict Compliance Requirements: The stage needed to meet rigorous safety and compliance expectations

• Variable Height Requirements: Adjustable stage heights were essential for different productions

• Heavy-Duty Use: The system needed to support professional performers, sets, and equipment

• Safe Access: Multiple access points with compliant handrails were required

Why Select Concepts Was Chosen

Select Concepts was chosen for its proven ability to deliver high-compliance modular staging systems for professional performance venues. The QUATTRO Stage System offered the strength, flexibility, and certification confidence required for a theatre environment operating in close alignment with local government standards.

Our experience working with complex, compliance-driven projects ensured the staging solution met both creative and regulatory expectations.

The Solution

Select Concepts supplied and installed a custom QUATTRO modular stage featuring:

• 9.6m x 9.6m modular stage platform

• Two sets of access steps

• Heavy-duty podiums for performance and presentation use

• Adjustable height legs ranging from 1100mm to 1500mm

• Modular handrail package for safe access

• Hexa non-slip deck finish suited to professional theatre environments

The Result

Malthouse Theatre now benefits from a highly adaptable, compliant, and durable staging system capable of supporting a wide range of productions. The adjustable height configuration allows the stage to evolve with each performance, while the heavy-duty construction delivers confidence under demanding conditions.

The QUATTRO system provides a future-proof solution that meets stringent compliance requirements while offering the flexibility required in a professional theatre setting.
