History

Rockdale Town Hall was opened by The Rt Hon. The Lord Wakehurst KCMG, Governor of New South Wales, on 12 October 1940. The building was designed by then-local architect Douglas Gardiner, who became a Melbourne-based partner of Bates Smart & McCutcheon after World War II.

Built at a cost of £20,000, the council chamber was at the time of construction 49 feet by 28 feet and the auditorium was 85 feet by 56 feet. It is built of face brick detailed with stone at copings and around window architraves. The building entrance is marked by a stone portico and brick tower. The hall's interiors have elaborate art deco style plaster details to it walls and ceiling. The building is listed on the NSW State Heritage Register as "a fine representative example of a late inter-war stripped classical building with functionalist influences".
