A competition was held for the new building between 1864 and 1866 and was won by Joseph Reed. The building included a public hall, administrative offices, Lord Mayor's rooms and Council Chamber. The portico was added in 1887-8 and was designed by Joseph Reed's firm at the time, Reed Henderson and Smart. The Administration Building was constructed in 1908-10 to accommodate the Council's growing administrative needs, and was the result of another competition. Grainger, Kennedy and Little won the competition and designed the interior, with the second prize won by JJ and EJ Clark who designed the The Melbourne Town Hall is of historic and social significance as the civic centre of Melbourne since 1867.

  • The Trades Hall Part of Our History
    The Trades Hall Part of Our History You aid them friends, with more than empty praise, Your contribution will assist to raise A people’s palace on yon vacant soil- A palace built and own’d by hardy sons of toil1 Image: State Library of Victoria Trades Hall, Corner of Lygon and Victoria Streets, Carlton (Photographed by John T. Collins in 1964) At a time when the nation’s biggest convenience store chain is being cast as ‘rorting wages of its workers’ it is worth noting that the history of one of the world’s earliest trade union buildings is in Carlton, on the fringe of the central city, originally solely financed and built by the workers to serve as a place for the labour movement. Melbourne building workers had successfully taken up an issue first raised by Sydney stonemasons for an Eight Hour Day. The skilled tradesmen, stonemasons, bricklayers, carpenters, joiners, plumbers, painters, slaters, quarrymen, coach builders, were Chartists or radicals who had emigrated from England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales, who had settled in cheaper suburbs like Collingwood, Fitzroy, North Melbourne and Richmond, who considered themselves ‘the fraternity of labour’, ‘the working bees of society’, ‘the producing classes’ and ‘the pioneers of the colony’.2 3 Their leader’s names are recorded on an honour board on the main staircase of the present building including Charles Don, Thomas Vine, James Stephens, James Galloway and Benjamin Douglass. Their families were also involved as the original Eight Hours flag was hand stitched by Vine’s three daughters.

  • Melbourne׳S Rockin׳ Venues
    Melbourne’s Rockin’ Venues The Palais Theatre Most punters in Melbourne have had a Palais experience at least once. Maybe you saw The Rolling Stones in ’66, or went to Jesus Christ Superstar or The Andrew Durant Memorial Concert in the 70’s? Today it remains a grand old dame, still hosting iconic shows. Here is a cool link to its history: https://palaistheatre.com.au/venue/venue-history Armstrong Studios Basically, it was our Abbey Road. Whispering Jack was recorded here, and many other acts came to avail themselves of its world class facilities. (U2, Paul McCartney, Madonna, Bob Dylan, Split Enz, Crowded House and many more) Bill Armstrong started out in a terraced house in South Melbourne before moving operations to an old butter factory in Bank street. The work recorded here is a staggering list of Australian Rock & Entertainment. Wikipedia has the story: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armstrong_Studios Festival Hall The “House of Stoush” in West Melbourne has hosted Wrestling, The Beatles, Boxing, Jethro Tull, Roller Derbies, Black Sabbath, Chuck Berry, The Bee Gees, Roy Orbison & hundreds more eclectic shows over its six-decade history.

  • The Suburban Rail Loop: 50 Billion Reasons Why (Or Why Not)?
    Presentation to VPELA Seminar 05/03/2019 The Suburban Rail Loop: 50 Billion Reasons Why (or Why Not)? Peter Tesdorpf - Rail Futures Institute 1 What is Rail Futures? Rail Futures Institute is an independent non-partisan group. Formed to advocate cost-effective rail and intermodal solutions for public transport and freight problems based on sound commercial, economic and social reasoning. Rail Futures members include experienced rail professionals, engineers, urban planners and economists. 2 Successful Outcomes • InterCity Regional Rail Plan - blueprint for Victorian regional rail to 2040. • Government announcements to date for airport rail align substantially with RFI’s AIRTRAIN proposal. • Government’s Western Rail Plan, Ballarat, Gippsland and other line upgrades align well with RFI recommendations. • Many RFI InterCity proposals reflected in Victorian Coalition regional rail policy. 3 4 5 6 7 WHY WE NEED THE MELBOURNE RAIL PLAN • Unprecedented population growth not seen since the 1850s Gold Rush. • Highest growth rate of Western cities. • Rapid urban densification occurring in inner and middle suburbs • Extensive outer urban growth areas lacking high quality public transport • Melbourne facing a transport crisis – roads, trains, trams near capacity • Car dependency levels becoming unsustainable • Our trams among the world’s slowest – operating well below their potential • We have a land use plan but no transport plan – as mandated by the Transport Integration Act. 8 Growth has outpaced transport network (1) Original radial train and tram network has not kept pace with Melbourne’s growth…..started falling behind from the late 1950s. The network was good for a city of 2-3 million, but not for now and the future, as these figures illustrate: • 88% of the area and 92% of the population of Melbourne’s inner area (where there is a partial grid network) is covered by high capacity (rail) public transport.
