"The creation of an open plaza between the Town Hall and St Andrew's Cathedral is regarded as an important example of co-operative urban planning. One of the conditions imposed on the Council in the 1860s prior to the construction of the Town Hall was that the site be enclosed with a sandstone wall and a fence. Early photographs show that wrought iron palisade fencing with gates and sandstone gate piers defined the curtilege. The fencing was removed in 1927 as a consequence of the construction of Town Hall railway station, and the fence and gates re-erected at St Joseph's College, Hunter's Hill. The creation of an open plaza between the Town Hall and St Andrew's Cathedral is regarded as an important example of co-operative urban planning and this civic precinct has been an important rallying point for democratic expression."
