Mayor Steve Christou says the delicate and carefully planned works will see the Town Hall restored as the centrepiece of Granville.
He said the council undertook a robust procurement process to ensure the best methodology, materials, quality work and value for money.
“All works are consistent with the original qualities of the building including careful selection of colours and materials,” he said.
“When the works are complete in August, it will again be a major venue for community events and activities.”
The works include repairs to the external pavement, stormwater and drainage lines, structural repairs to the building including underpinning and external repairs, with all works were approved by Heritage NSW and the Department of Premier and Cabinet.”
Listed as an item of environmental heritage, it has both local and state heritage significance. Built in 1888 following the incorporation of Granville in 1885, it is believed to be one of only two intact 19th-century council chamber buildings in Sydney’s west.
