The Civic Centre was designed by architects GF Addison and HS Mac Donald and built by TC Clarke in 1937, and opened by the then Minister for Health and Home Affairs, Mr M E Hanlon, in 1938.

The Town Hall was used as a commercial cinema for a number of years from around 1950 until 1978 and has received intermittent use since then. It was operated by R.J. Watson /Watson Pictures. Watson pictures also ran Empire Pictures and the local Drive-in.
