Sydney Town Hall is one of Sydney’s much loved landmarks, renowned as a major architectural icon and the pre-eminent site in Sydney for cultural expression, ceremony and ritual. Together, the Town Hall building and its collection speak to us of the people and places, the events and occasions, the celebrations and reflections that are unique to the City of Sydney. Compiled by the Town Hall’s curator, Margaret Betteridge, Sydney Town Hall: the building and its collection this new book presents a lavishly illustrated architectural tour of the building and its glorious interiors and showcases the Council’s collection of artworks, historical items and civic traditions. Sydney Town Hall is the civic home of the Council of the City of Sydney.
It is here that Sydney’s Lord Mayor and the democratically elected councillors meet to discuss and debate the policies and strategies which underpin the management of the city and develop the vision for its future growth and sustainability. Learning about local government and the role it plays in our lives is an important topic which is addressed in the NSW school curriculum at primary and secondary levels in key learning areas including democracy, government, civics and Australian history.
