Hills Centre

The Hills Centre was a modern brutalist complex of civic buildings in Castle Hill, New South Wales opened in stages between 1982 and 1988, and demolished in 2013.

The complex included a 1,678-seat auditorium called the Hills Entertainment Centre, a council works depot and the Baulkham Hills Shire Council (later The Hills Shire Council) chambers. The auditorium played host to early meetings of Hillsong Church before the group moved to a purpose-built facility nearby.

The Entertainment Centre foyer was dominated by a large mural: a Cubism-inspired work depicting various aspects of the performing arts, made up of thousands of ceramic pieces. The mural was the work of local artist Vladimir Tichy, who maintained a studio on the premises of a local brickworks.

North West Rail Link proposal

In the 2000s, "Hills Centre" appeared on maps as a possible station for future railway lines, including the North West Rail Link (NWRL) and North West Metro. The station would have been on the site of the Castle Hill Showground, which would have faced demolition as a result.
