After the amalgamation of the City of Northcote with the City of Preston in 1994 to form the City of Darebin, the Town Hall was redeveloped and renovated into an Arts, Community and Cultural venue.
The town hall now boasts seven meeting rooms for community meetings, training and passive recreation, two large studios for performances and events, a large main hall for functions and events seating up to 300 people and an outdoor civic square used for outdoor markets and performances.
As well as being an ideal performance and conference space, many of the rooms are used for rehearsal groups, children's music groups and passive recreation spaces for yoga and pilates.
