The Corporate, Finance, Properties and Tenders Committee reviewed a report on the proposed scope of works for the renewal and upgrade of Paddington Town Hall, a heritage‑listed Victorian free classical building built in 1891.

The report noted that the building is the city’s second‑largest Town Hall, had last major renewal work completed in the 1990s, and now requires renewal due to ageing services, fit‑out and low utilisation of key spaces.

The committee also considered the City’s investment report for August 2026, noting a total investment and cash position of $703.8 million and $2.7 million earned in interest.
