Parade in Victoria Street pictured in front of the Town Hall. Designed by Arthur Rigby and built in 1912 by notable local businessman Charles Porter, this Edwardian/Federation design is one of the few buildings that survived the 1918 cyclone and sheltered homeless victims of that storm. Built of rendered locally produced brick, it features a central square tower designed to include a clock that was never installed. Columns and arches enclose the front verandahs and cast-iron balustrades adorn the upper verandah. The building was restored to its former glory in late 2001 by the former Mackay City Council, Queensland Heritage Trails Network and the Commonwealth Government. The Town Hall houses a permanent interpretive local history display and tourism information office on the ground floor and a studio space upstairs. The studio space is managed by Artspace Mackay to provide local artists with opportunities to exhibit and sell their work. PhotoContributed
