The North Sydney Council Chambers is a landmark civic complex on a block bounded by Miller Street and McLaren Street in North Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. Originally conceived as a Federation Arts and Crafts residence by Edward Jeaffreson Jackson in 1903, the main building served as a private hospital before being purchased by the Municipality of North Sydney for its new chambers in 1925, with sympathetic extensions being completed in 1926, 1938 and 1968 to accommodate for this new usage. While it has remained the seat of North Sydney Council since 1926, the Council Chambers have been further extended with the completion of the modernist Wyllie Wing by Harry Seidler in 1977 and the Carole Baker Building in 2000 by Feiko Bouman.
