WILLIAMSTOWN TOWN HALL
Architect: Plottel & Bennett Gibbs Finlay & Morsby 1926, Theo Kerlidis K20 Architecture 2016
City of Hobsons Bay | H04
BUILDING DESCRIPTION
As the largest building of its kind in Melbourne’s west, Williamstown Town Hall, built in 1927 by prolific architect Joseph Plottel, is an original example of an interwar municipal complex. Part of the Williamstown Town Hall and Library precinct, it is an important part of Williamstown’s identity and was recently restored and upgraded.
Through several stages of renovations, architects replaced the roof, restored the interior’s ornate ceilings, timber panelling, original floor and wall tiling, and upgraded the building to contemporary safety and sustainability requirements. An original copper-clad thermal chimney was removed, restored off-site, and fitted with new louvres that open in summer to release heat from the building.
In the heart of Williamstown, the building includes antique fittings, furniture and other significant items from its history. The project won two awards in 2018: the Melbourne Design and Government Design Awards.

When Scienceworks opened in 1992, its vision was a place for young people to play with science. Scienceworks linked Melbourne's industry, heritage and applied technology in one place: a new building looking across the arena to the century-old Pumping Station, all under the grand arc of the West Gate Bridge.
Today, Scienceworks is bursting with things to challenge curious minds of all ages. In just one visit, you can stroll among the gigantic machines that kept the city running, enjoy electrifying theatre in the Lightning Room, let your little ones roam safely in enclosed spaces, wander through immersive exhibitions and drop into deep space in the Melbourne Planetarium.
Like its visitors, the team at Scienceworks are always asking questions. How does it work? Why does it do that? How is our world changing? Join them on an expedition to understand the mysteries of the universe and our everyday lives.
