Designed by The Commonwealth Department of Housing and Construction, with John Scott the project architect. It was built by Nichols Henderson Pty Ltd and was opened in March 1968.
Designed in a bold modern style, the building adapted to local conditions with bronze louvres shielding its windows.
It survived Cyclone Tracy in 1974, and served a vital role as the emergency coordination and communications centre in the aftermath of the cyclone.
More information on the building and it’s history can be found on the Northern Terriroy Hertiage Trail website, here.
