Newcastle City Hall, Heritage-listed civic building in Newcastle, Australia

Newcastle City Hall is a three-storey building at 289 King Street, its steel frame clad in Sydney yellowblock sandstone ashlar with rusticated quoins. A clock tower, porte cochere, balustrades and stairs are all built of Sydney sandstone. Inside are a ballroom, a concert hall and additional function rooms.

The building was designed by theater architect Henry Eli White and opened in 1929 after years of planning. Its construction was an important municipal project during that period.

The building's name and civic role date from its 1929 opening as Newcastle's city hall; council meetings had previously moved between the Court House, a room in the Borough Markets and chambers in Watt Street. The council chambers remain in the building after the administrative offices left in 1977, and the hall's ballroom and concert hall host public functions.

Newcastle City Hall stands at 289 King Street, within the block bounded by Hunter, Darby, King and Burwood Streets, a short walk from the city's central shopping area. The council chambers remain in the building, so check opening times before visiting and expect restricted access when functions are held in the ballroom or concert hall.

The clock tower is clad in Sydney yellowblock sandstone ashlar with rusticated quoins, over a reinforced concrete and steel frame. It was damaged in the 1989 Newcastle earthquake and later repaired. The tower marks the Civic Centre of Newcastle.
