Inverell Town Hall

The Inverell Town Hall opened in 1905. For decades, residents had waited for such a public hall and they celebrated in style with an official dinner, concert and ball. This grand building, with elaborate Victorian architectural features, was designed by Gordon McKinnon. Local brick maker George Nott built the hall close to the site of the original 1868 Town Hall.

The area now known as the annex, became the headquarters of Inverell Municipal Council and there was space for a tiny public library. Visiting public entertainment took place nearly every week in the Town Hall's early years. Several Governors, Prime Ministers and other prominent people have attended meetings or functions here. Nationally renowned performers and hundreds of other local people of all ages have participated in concerts, eisteddfods and plays.

The Hall has also been used as a cinema, polling place, boxing venue, school speech nights, flower shows, balls and opera. Thousands of dollars have been raised by service clubs through functions held in the hall, all for the benefit of our community.
