Statement of Significance

A characteristic building type, still in use, with Historic and social associations with the establishment of the town and its early administration.

Physical Description

Town Hall and municipal chambers were built with a 'respectable' neo-classic brick facade, however behind this the building is a simple timber framed structure, clad in galvanized iron. The proposal to replace thi building with a town hall as grand and opulent as those at Ballorat & Bendigo never came to fruition.
