Officially opened in 1887, Collingwood Town Hall boasts impressive 19th century gold rush style classical design.(Submitted on July 23, 2026, by Dean Barton-Ancliffe of Rowville, Victoria.)
The centrepiece of this grand building is its ballroom, which is available for hire.
The ballroom is ideal for theatre performances, musical productions, and warehouse sales.
The foyer entry and interior of the ballroom were refurbished in Art Deco style in 1938. In 2014, the Collingwood Town Hall had an extensive renovation to bring it into line with with occupation health and safety requirements, the Disability Discrimination Act and the Building Code of Australia.
The ballroom space can hold 500 people in the hall and 300 in the balcony.
