Gretel Packer has quietly confirmed she intends to convert a former theatre in Sydney’s Kings Cross district that was owned for years by Hollywood filmmaker George Miller back into a working theatre.

The billionaire daughter of late media tycoon Kerry Packer and the team at her family office, Ritam, will spend six months assessing the parameters of a project to restore the Metro-Minerva Theatre in Potts Point after buying the site from developers last July for $26 million.
