11.01.2022 Did you know that our beautiful City Hall was given its green light by a public poll in 1920, but didn't have its first stone laid til 1928 by NSW Governor Sir ...Dudley de Chair? It was opened a year later on Dec 14, 1929. Since then, its survived wars and earthquakes, and today is as breathtaking as ever. City Hall still serves the community and is home to a range of events, from business conferences and school formals, to fairytale weddings. Visit https://bit.ly/3kCXjmh to find out more...
