The Concert Hall at The Concourse has officially been renamed the Pat Reilly Concert Hall, complete with a commemorative plaque and new signage to honour the Emeritus Mayor.
The tribute recognises Reilly’s three decades of dedicated service to the Willoughby community. It also celebrates his leading role in driving The Concourse – one of the largest local civic and cultural infrastructure projects in NSW – from concept to completion.
Current Mayor Tanya Taylor praised his enduring legacy and strong advocacy for the arts.
