The Ryde Civic Centre was a legacy 1960's modernist civic building in Ryde, Sydney, Australia. It stood as a local landmark in the centre of Ryde on land originally known as Hattons Flat, along Devlin Street. Designed in the Post-War International Style by Buckland & Druce architects, the Civic Centre was the seat of the City of Ryde from its opening in 1964, and was extended in 1972 to include the Civic Hall as an event and function space. It had been nominated multiple times for heritage listing but no serious investigation of its significance was ever undertaken. Possibly of State significance, its significance had been much debated. The demolition of the Parramatta Civic Centre was approved on the basis that the Ryde Civic Centre was a far better example. The Ryde Civic Centre was the only known surviving example of a mid 20th century Post War Civic Centre and Council administration building in New South Wales. The Civic Centre remained the council seat until 2016, when the main building was closed allegedly due to maintenance and safety issues. Demolition and redevelopment of the Ryde Civic Centre has been a hotly debated political issue for the council. In 2019 Council lodged and approved a proposal to redevelop the Civic Centre site as the "New Heart of Ryde" designed by Plus Architecture, with Taylor Construction Group tendered as the builders in early 2020. In 2021, the Civic Centre, along with the Civic Hall was demolished to make way for the New Heart of Ryde.
