The ArtGeo Cultural Complex occupies a cluster of State heritage-listed buildings on Queen Street in central Busselton, just a short walk from the foreshore. Dating to 1860, the precinct includes a restored former bank converted into a contemporary gallery, the Old Courthouse, historic gaol cells, artist studios, a theatre, and a bush food garden. It serves as the creative and cultural heart of the Busselton community, with free entry to most spaces.

The ArtGeo Gallery hosts a rotating programme of exhibitions drawn from regional, national, and international artists, with a dedicated focus on south-west Western Australian practitioners. The historic Old Courthouse building houses a retail gallery selling work designed and made by artists from the South West and Great Southern regions. The settlement-era gaol cells can also be explored as an informal heritage experience.

The bush food garden, maintained by a local Aboriginal association, introduces visitors to native plants used by Wadandi people for food and medicine. Life-size bronze sculptures are installed across the precinct and tell the story of early European settlement in the region. A coffee house is a popular stop for refreshments.

The Weld Theatre, home to the Busselton Repertory Club, stages regular productions throughout the year. The complex regularly hosts community events, markets, and festivals, making it a lively gathering point that rewards multiple visits.
