Leichhardt Town Hall

The Leichhardt Town Hall is a landmark civic building in Leichhardt, a suburb of Sydney, Australia. It stands at 107 Norton Street. It was built in 1888 in the Victorian Italianate style by architects Drake and Walcott. The Town Hall was the seat of Leichhardt Municipal Council from 1888 to 2016 and is now one of the seats of the new Inner West Council. The hall is listed on the (now defunct) Australian Register of the National Estate and the local government heritage database. History and description When the Municipality of Leichhardt was proclaimed in 1871, the council first started meeting in a former inn. This building proved thoroughly inadequate for the purposes of a municipal administration, with The Sydney Morning Herald noting in December 1887 that the council chambers were: "about as inconvenient and insignificant in appearance as could well be imagined. Originally a wayside inn, it has undergone very slight change; even the bar and shelves in the front room remain intact, but one important difference may be noted, viz., that whereas the shelves were formerly filled with bottles containing wines and spirits, the only occupants now are two small oil lamps. The accommodation is necessarily of the most meagre description." As a consequence, at the meeting of the council 13 June 1887, Alderman Walsh introduced a motion that £4000 "be placed to the credit of a Town Hall Account in the Bank of Australasia, Leichhardt, and be reserved for expenses in connection with the building of a Town Hall at the corner of Norton and Marion streets." Despite concerns over the cost of such a project, the motion was carried in a division of 5 votes to 4. A subsequent special meeting convened on 15 August, and selected a Victorian Italianate style design by architects, Drake and Walcott, of Pitt Street, Sydney. The foundation stone of the new hall was laid in a ceremony on 7 January 1888 by the Mayoress, the wife of Mayor Benjamin Moore. Stated to be "one of the finest municipal buildings in the colony", the hall was completed eight months later at the cost of £5600 and was formally opened, albeit with an incomplete tower, on 26 September 1888 by the Governor of New South Wales, Lord Carrington, in the presence of Mayor Sydney Smith and Sir Henry Parkes. The clock within the tower was not installed until 1897 to commemorate the 60 years of Queen Victoria’s reign and was unveiled on 22 June 1897 by the Mayoress, wife of mayor Robert Cropley. A branch of the Australian Joint Stock Bank operated in the north western section of the building from 1888 to 1895 when a library was established with a separate entry from Marion Street.

Incidents On 30 March 2009, a gas leak caused the evacuation of the apartment and shopping centre below. Two men were seriously burnt after the gas explosion on the top floor believed to be the 28th floor. The men who burnt were believed to be working on the air conditioning unit on the rooftop. On 10 August 2018, a major gas leak caused the evacuation of the apartments and shopping centre below after workmen hit the gas main. The centre has since reopened. On 23 December 2024, a suspicious package spotted between KrazyBird and Coles around 11 am caused the evacuation of the shopping centre due to the belief of a bomb inside of the package. The centre reopened around half an hour later with the package being identified as a battery and that there were “no suspicious circumstances”.

Bernie Banton Bridge

The Bernie Banton Bridge is a multi-span concrete girder bridge located in Parramatta, New South Wales, Australia. Built in 1971, the bridge carries two lanes of vehicular traffic with two pedestrian sidewalks. The bridge was built to replace the often flooded Marsden Street Weir and was originally called the Marsden Street Bridge. The bridge was renamed in 2006 in honour of the asbestos diseases campaigner, Bernie Banton. Description The Bernie Banton Bridge crosses the Parramatta River and is an important north and south transport link between Parramatta's CBD and North Parramatta. On the North Parramatta side of the river, the bridge provides access to residential areas as well as Western Sydney Stadium (now Commbank Stadium), Parramatta Leagues Club, Old King's Parade Ground, St Patrick's Cathedral and Our Lady of Mercy College. Meanwhile, on the south bank of the Parramatta River, the bridge provides access to Parramatta Park (including Old Government House), Parramatta Children's Court, the Family Court of Australia, Parramatta RSL Club as well as the offices of the Department of Home Affairs, Australian Taxation Office and Centrelink. Downriver, the historic Lennox Bridge is visible from the Bernie Banton Bridge. Also visible is the Marsden Street Weir. The weir was used as a river crossing until the 1970s when the adjacent and better aligned Marsden Street bridge was constructed. As a weir and roadway it frequently closed in wet weather as the water overtopped the structure." See also List of bridges in Sydney References

Western Australian Bank, Albany Branch

The Western Australian Bank, Albany, also known as the Haynes Robinson building, is a heritage listed building located on Stirling Terrace overlooking Princess Royal Harbour in Albany in the Great Southern region of Western Australia. It was built in the Federation Academic Classical style and originally housed the local branch of the Commercial Bank of Australia. The two storey building has many features that are identical to those of the eastern neighbouring building. The building is constructed on a rusticated base, there are two entrance doors with classically derived casements made up of plain pilasters, cornices, scrolled brackets and tympanum. A pair of arched windows are found between the doors. A deep cornice was set above the entablature, there is an open balustrade at parapet level, with piers topped with urns at each end and a raised panel buttressed by scrolls and tympanum above. In 2000, the parapet level including the urns and tympanum were removed, and the entire building was painted. The two storey building has a symmetrical smooth rendered façade, with the lower floor finished in rendered ashlar. The paired groups of arched windows have classical pillars and prominent architraves. A number of classical motifs have been utilised to embellish the façade. The building was built in 1890 for the Commercial Bank during the Western Australian gold rush period when prospectors would disembark at Albany then travel further north. Plans were approved by May 1890 for construction with an estimated cost of £6000. The architect, John Talbot Hobbs, called for tenders early the following month for construction. The tender was awarded to J Hurst and son, with a bid of £6697, and they commenced construction of the building in late July of the same year. The contract also included the demolition of the existing single storey buildings on the site. Works on the building were completed in June 1891. In 1897 the Western Australian bank had taken over the premises from the Commercial Bank. In 2000, the Great Southern Development Commission offices were located within the building but were later moved to Pyrmont House. Currently the building is used for office space, including by the former member of Albany and now lawyer, Kevin Prince.
