The building was controversial at the time as it exceeded the estimated £6,000 budget by £2,000. Beswicke designed a number of town halls, 30 Wilson St, Brighton (cnr Carpenter St) Renaissance Revival Renaissance including Essendon (1885), Hawthorn (1887), and 1933 1885–86, Wilson & Beswicke (1885–86), Oakley & Parkes (1933) Dandenong (1890). The design of the building, with its Renaissance Revival pilastered façades and prominent tower (in this case with a clock), balustraded parapet and French Second Empire mansard roof, is characteristic of the many town halls built in this period in Victoria. Malvern Town Hall is a similar design with a corner tower. The double-height hall with projecting cast-iron portico has hosted many great balls, weddings and receptions. The first gathering was held on 21 April 1886, when a serious argument broke out; it is said that Mayor Thomas Bent (1838–1909) hit someone with his cane. Oakley & Parkes designed alterations to the interior in 1933 and more than 20 years later designed the new Council Chambers behind.

The building itself sits opposite the Brighton Town Hall (1885–86), which highlights the progression in municipal patronage over 73 years. The distinctive cylindrical drum consists of three bands of brickwork, each projecting out slightly from the one below, all seemingly supported on a glass ring. The building also has very strong horizontal lines. The projecting flat concrete roof of the ground floor enables the building to feel less overwhelming and connects the circular section with the square section. Industrial designer Grant Featherston, forerunner of the post World War II industrial design movement in Australia, designed the peacock blue interior and accompanying furniture. The cork oak tree (Quercus suber) on the Boxhall Street boundary is significant as it is estimated to be nearly 100 years old.
