The former Camberwell Town Hall is situated at 360 Camberwell Road. It was constructed for the Boroondara Shire Council in the late 1880s, in the Free Classical style.[1]
It became the Camberwell Town Hall when the town was proclaimed in 1906, which became the City of Camberwell in 1914. The building was extensively refurbished in the mid-1920s, and new council offices were constructed alongside.[2]
In 2022, the Camberwell Community Centre moved from the former town hall to a purpose-built facility at 33/35 Fairholm Grove, Camberwell. It offers courses that support and enhance connection through creativity, learning and wellbeing. Activities range from multi-cultural senior groups, social cards and games, and film and book clubs, as well as art, ceramics and languages. Room and hall hire is available.[3]
