Located in the north Melbourne suburb of North Coburg. The Coburg Drive-In opened 25th November 1965 with Sean Connery in "Marnie" and Ernest Borgnine in "McHale’s Navy".
Taken over by Hoyts Theatres chain in 1967, it was closed in 1984. Reopened as a twin-screen in 1987, as a joint venture between Hoyts and Village Theatres. A third screen was added in 1995 and it has a capacity for 850 cars.
The Village Triple Drive-In is one of the most successful drive-in theatres operating in Australia. It was only one of two to be operating in the Melbourne suburbs, the other being the Lunar Drive-In, in Dandenong to the south of the city which closed on 9th July 2023 (it has its own page on Cinema Treasures).

Opening date(first time) was 25/11/1965.
The Coburg drive-in is the last operating Drive-in operated by Village in Australia(and possibly the World?).
It is going up for sale but will continue to be leased to Village Roadshow for 10 years.

The drive-in was heritage listed by the National Trust in 2007.
Closed in 1984 with “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles”.
Um David, I don’t think the 1984 closure closed with that film.
