The Skyline in Bass Hill opened in November 1956, with a 724 car capacity and until its closure in September 2007 was Australia's oldest continually operating drive-in theatre. This was followed by a Skyline in Newcastle in December 1956 at a cost of $200,000, with a capacity for 722 cars and a holding area for a further 420. The Newcastle Skyline closed in June 1985. The North Ryde Skyline, on Lane Cove Road, accommodated 620 cars and operated for 30 years from 1956. Caringbah drive-in is now a shopping mall. A few small community drive-ins remain in rural NSW.
