Maryborough Town Hall
Designed by prolific Melbourne architect George Johnson and built by George Clayfield Senior, this town hall had its foundation stone laid in June 1887 and opened with a grand ball in July 1888. A largely intact provincial town hall, it is prized for its gallery and painted ceiling, and sits within Maryborough's Civic Square.

Maryborough Municipal Olympic Swimming Complex
Opened in December 1940 by champion swimmer Frank Beaurepaire, then Lord Mayor of Melbourne, this complex was designed by local architect EJ Peck with city engineers Muntz and Hocking. Its functionalist entrance pavilion, Olympic pool and octagonal wading pool make it a rare, intact inter-war municipal pool on the Victorian Heritage Register.
