The Civic Square is an open-air event area immediately outside Northcote Town Hall Arts Centre at 189 High Street, Northcote. Darebin Arts lists an audience capacity of up to 400 and specifically recommends it for markets, open-air performances and concerts. The outdoor square is a distinct hire option from the venue's historic indoor Main Hall, West Wing Studios and Rooftop Room; their production equipment and facilities are not automatically included. Outdoor-event bookings require operator consultation about public access, power, weather plans, staging and permits. Its central High Street position provides a public-facing arts and gathering setting.
