Warringah Civic Centre
The Warringah Council Civic Centre is a landmark civic building in Dee Why, a suburb of Sydney, Australia. It stands in the centre of Dee Why, along Pittwater Road. Designed in the Brutalist style by Colin Madigan and Christopher Kringas, it replaced the previous Shire Hall, a Neo-Georgian building also on Pittwater Road but in Brookvale opposite Brookvale Oval. The Civic Centre has been the seat of Warringah Council since its opening on 1 September 1973.
==Shire Hall==
When Warringah Shire Council was formed in 1906, the Council first met in the Narrabeen Progress Hall on 14 June 1906, before moving to Brookvale. From March 1907 the Council leased "Smith's Hall" (later to be known as "Empire Hall") in West Street, Brookvale from Mr W. Smith to act as their council chambers. On 26 February 1910, a more permanent chambers was built on Pittwater Road, facing the land that would soon become Brookvale Oval. The opening was conducted by Shire President Alexander Ralston and was attended by Dr. Richard Arthur, Member for Middle Harbour. This first Council Chambers was a small Federation bungalow style building which served both as council offices and the Shire Clerk's residence.
In July 1912 the council commissioned architect James Campbell to design and build a larger Shire Hall, also in the Federation style, next to the council chambers building for the sum of £945. On 16 November 1912 the Shire Hall was officially opened by Shire President William Hews, with speeches on the occasion from Sir Granville Ryrie (Federal Member for Warringah), Dr. Richard Arthur MLA and Alderman Ellison Quirk.
In 1923, the council commissioned the construction of a new Shire Hall to remodel the previous hall in a more modern style. The new Shire Hall was designed by Manly Architects Frederick Trenchard Smith and Samuel Maisey (of the firm Trenchard Smith & Maisey) in a Neo-Georgian style with a much more imposing two-storey facade along Pittwater Road. Local builder H. E. Jackson was contracted for the construction of the new Shire Hall. The revival design was very similar to their later work in designing the new Manly Town Hall (1937). In 1928 Trenchard Smith & Maisey were again contracted to design and build various extensions and additions to the existing Shire Hall, including the council public office next door.〔Warringah Shire Council Minutes, 25 June 1928, p. 10.〕 On 1 September 1951, the Mackellar County Council was established, consisting of three representatives from Warringah Shire and three from Manly Municipality, and its offices were located in this new extension on Pittwater road.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://search.records.nsw.gov.au/agencies/3797 )〕 Brookvale remained the administrative centre for Warringah for 60 years until 1971 when the council resolved to commence the construction of a new Civic Centre in Dee Why. When the council eventually moved to the new Civic Centre in 1973, the Warringah Shire Hall in Brookvale was threatened with demolition in the mid-1970s. Despite some calls for the historic hall to be saved and be used as a community centre, their efforts were to no avail and the hall was demolished.
