The Port Augusta Town Hall is a heritage-listed former town hall at 54 Commercial Road, Port Augusta. It was added to the South Australian Heritage Register on 23 September 1982; it is also listed on the Register of the National Estate.
It was built in 1886-87 to a design by Alfred Barham Black and H. E. Hughes, after an earlier design by James Hill was condemned by architects. The design featured a large central auditorium, 75 feet by 45 feet with a stage. It was built by R. Honey from stone quarried at Quorn. The foundation stone was laid in June 1886 by the wife of the mayor, J. C. Knipe, and it was officially opened in May 1887 by Knipe's successor as mayor, David Drysdale.
The building was severely damaged by fire in 1944, with the main hall, gallery, mayor's parlour, supper room, stage, dressing and cloak rooms, and mothers' and babies' association all destroyed. The facade, council chamber and town council office were saved. It suffered a further wall collapse while being used as an open-air entertainment venue in 1945 while awaiting reconstruction. It was rebuilt in 1946 at a cost of £30,000, and opened that August by Governor Willoughby Norrie. The original facade was retained as part of the rebuilt town hall.
In 1983, the City of Port Augusta vacated the building when the new Port Augusta Civic Centre was completed. It was subsequently used by community groups for many years, but much of the building remained disused and it became increasingly derelict over time. In 2007, a teenage boy was injured after falling through the building's roof.
In June 2015, it was placed up for sale by the state government; it was reported the previous month that the community tenants had been given one month's notice. At that time, the building was reported to have structural problems, including issues with asbestos and "substantial cracking in the walls due to movement of the original footing"; it had previously been reported to have problems with subsiding side walls and a crumbling facade, which had necessitated the erection of a verandah to protect pedestrians. Local state Liberal MP Dan van Holst Pellekaan has supported removing the heritage listing from all of the site except the facade, supporting retaining only the facade of the town hall amidst a general redevelopment of the site. It was reported in March 2016 that contracts for the sale the building had been signed, with the contract to require development within two years of purchase, but that settlement had not yet occurred. The buyer has not been publicly named.
