Preston City Hall — Preston, VIC. Preston City Hall is a historic civic events space at 284 Gower Street, managed by Darebin City Council. It accommodates roughly 200–550 depending on theatre, banquet, dance-floor or other event layouts. Facilities include a stage, public-address system, wooden dance floor, balcony seating, function tables and chairs and commercial-size kitchen space for approved caterers. Council specifies a minimum three-hour booking and publishes a 2026–27 rate schedule and security deposits. The high-end guest number should never be assumed for a banquet layout.
