Avery Building

Avery Building

The Avery Building was the headquarters of the New South Wales Police Force from the 1970s until 2004. At this time a new headquarters building was opened at Parramatta in conjunction with police executive offices located in Elizabeth Street, Sydney. The Avery Building was named after long serving Police Commissioner John Keith Avery, who led the organisation from 1984 to 1991. The building was not named after him until after his retirement. The building is a tall white structure, about 20 stories tall, located on College Street, Darlinghurst overlooking Hyde Park. Since the New South Wales Police vacated the building it has remained vacant for several years. Former Commissioner Avery is still recognised by the New South Wales Police Force with the library at the New South Wales Police College being named the J.K. Avery Resource Centre.
