Please bring O'Halloran Hill drive-in back into the picture Kim Marshall is behind a Facebook campaign to reopen the O'Halloran Hill drive-in, which closed in 1984. Picture: Stephen Laffer Source: The Advertiser THE owner of the O'Halloran Hill drive-in is considering reopening it following fresh calls on social media from thousands of residents. More than 8000 people have "liked" a Facebook page calling for the Majors Rd drive-in to reopen, almost 30 years after it closed. Landowner Noel Hurley said he would consider allowing a cinema company to reopen the drive-in. "I would of course consider reopening it," he said. Younger people today have missed all that and there's nowhere else to go down here now. Mr Hurley said he had not looked into the cost of reopening the drive-in, but said "a few million" would cover the cost of equipment and resurfacing the land. The site has sat idle since 1984. In 1985, Mr Hurley lodged plans with Marion Council to build a caravan park on the site but progress later stalled while he focused on other priorities. The "Open the O'Halloran Hill Drive-In Again" Facebook page has attracted more than 8300 "likes" since it was created on May 2 by Christies Beach woman Kim Marshall. She said she travelled to the Gepps Cross drive-in but that it was too far to go for many southern suburbs families. Wallis Cinema director Jim Filipovic said the company, which owns the Gepps Cross drive-in, was not interested in the O'Halloran Hill site.
