Bendigo Town Hall, Victorian government building in Bendigo, Australia

Bendigo Town Hall sits at the corner of Bull Street and Hargreaves Street, displaying Second Empire architecture with a distinctive mansard roof and clock tower. The structure features ornate exterior details that are visible from a distance.

The first town hall, designed by town clerk George Avery Fletcher, was built in 1859; a council chamber followed in 1866 and the Corn Exchange in 1871–72. From 1878 to 1902 William Vahland remodelled it with new offices, an enlarged hall, a clock tower and a mansard roof, completed in 1885.

Danish artist Otto Waschatz, known for decorating royal palaces, created ornate interiors with gold-leafed plasterwork that visitors still see today. The rooms display craftsmanship that becomes immediately apparent when you walk through them.

The City of Greater Bendigo council meets in the council chambers within the town hall offices, where the council's administrative activities are also based. The building stands at the corner of Bull Street and Hargreaves Street, so it is easy to find on foot in the city centre.

The 1878–1902 rebuilding was carried out for a town whose wealth came from gold, and the interior plaster was finished with 22-carat gold leaf. Otto Waschatz, hired by William Vahland, had just decorated the Royal Palace in Copenhagen before taking on the hall.
