IATG invites you to join a
Tour of Parramatta PHIVE and Town Hall Buildings
PHIVE is Parramatta's new community, cultural and civic hub, located in the heart of Parramatta's CBD. It's a space to learn, be inspired and explore something new. A space to connect with the community, and find local services. A space to meet, collaborate and do business.
PHIVE is an architectural icon, with a bold design by award-winning French architect Manuelle Gautrand, in partnership with Australian architecture firms Lacoste + Stevenson and DesignInc. It’s a truly smart building, with sustainability credentials allowing it to be net zero carbon from day one.
Parramatta Town Hall has undergone a recent upgrade, with the City of Parramatta carefully overseeing the adaptive reuse of the iconic building’s unique architectural charm and beauty, whilst adding contemporary touches that offer an air of modern comfort for this landmark venue.
Parramatta Town Hall was originally identified and marked out by Australia’s first Governor, Arthur Phillip in 1792. In 1870, Mayor John Good recognised the necessity for a dedicated Town Hall in Parramatta, envisioning a central building for entertainment, concerts, and meetings. Nine years later, the Council established Parramatta Town Hall, replacing the marketplace formerly used for public activities including cattle sales and agricultural shows.
Arrive early for a refreshment at the new PHIVE coffee shop/eatery.
