Built in 1870, Perth Town Hall is Australia’s only Gothic-style town hall—and the only one constructed by convicts. This stunning heritage building stands as a proud reminder of the city’s colonial past.

An award-winning restoration has carefully preserved its antique charm while integrating modern amenities, making it a truly unique venue. Visitors usually explore the grand interiors and appreciate the blend of history and contemporary function.

The Lower Foyer regularly showcased art exhibitions and informational displays, offering visitors a chance to experience local culture alongside history.

Free 60-minute guided tours were held every first and third Thursday of the month, starting at 10:15 am from the iCity Information Kiosk in Forrest Place, Murray Street Mall. Tours do not run on public holidays.

Perth Town Hall remains a treasured cultural icon, soon to welcome visitors again in 2025.
