History

Eastside Drive-In

Built on former farmland, a drive-in cinema designed by Cheesman Doley Brabham & Neighbour architects opened as the Eastside Drive-In on the site in 1966. Accommodating 418 cars, the screen measured 330 square metres (3,600 sq ft) in size, then the largest in Australia. The Australian Red Cross received all the revenues from the opening picture, The Sound of Music starring Julie Andrews. The drive-in was highly profitable in the years following the Tasman Bridge disaster, which separated the eastern shore from the Hobart CBD. After 18 years of operation, Village Cinemas shut down the venue in 1984. The former projection room and café survives as part of the Eastside Lutheran College, housing the institution's administrative offices. [3]

Establishment of the college

Eastside Lutheran College (originally named St Peter's Lutheran School) was established in 1982 by St Peter's Lutheran Church in Hobart. [2] ELC was originally located in the home next to the original Lutheran church in Davey Street. In 1985, when student enrolment numbers increased, ELC moved to its new property on the eastern shore of the Derwent River and became known as Eastside Christian School Lindisfarne. By the end of 2002, the school moved towards a secondary curriculum. In November 2004, it was decided to change the name from Eastside Christian School to Eastside Lutheran College. The college is affiliated with the Lutheran Church of Australia and is supported by Lutheran Education Victoria, New South Wales and Tasmania. [2]
