"One of the largest and most startling of all the Australian picture palaces is the Parramatta Roxy, built in 1931 in a delightful mixture of Spanish and Mexican motifs."

"If ever a city needed a theatre large enough to be able to stage elaborate live productions of plays, musicals and operas, that place is Parramatta."

"Everything possible must be done to save this magnificent building — for the delight and entertainment of future generations."

"I've never understood why we Australians are so embarrassed by our past. If it wasn't for a handful of conservationists our cities would all be identical and full of decaying concrete boxes."

"The Roxy has a great auditorium, a marvellous place in the history of Australian cinema, and the potential of immense community usefulness."
