The Camberwell Town Hall is situated at 360 Camberwell Road. It was constructed for the Boroondara Shire Council in the late 1880s, in the Free Classical style.

It became the Camberwell Town Hall when the town was proclaimed in 1906, which became the City of Camberwell in 1914. The building was extensively refurbished in the mid-1920s, and new council offices were constructed alongside.

In 2022, the Camberwell Community Centre moved from the town hall to a purpose-built facility at 33/35 Fairholm Grove, Camberwell. It offers courses that support and enhance connection through creativity, learning and wellbeing. Activities range from multi-cultural senior groups, social cards and games, and film and book clubs, as well as art, ceramics and languages. Room and hall hire is available.
