About the Former Post Office

The original Ryde Post Office was adjacent to the First Courthouse. In 1903, a new post office was built on the corner of Church and Parkes Streets, now Blaxland Road.

This was constructed of brick with a sandstone façade and had accommodation for the postmaster and his family on the second floor. By 1967, demand for postal and telephone services had significantly increased and a new Post Office was constructed on the same site.

With the 1957 opening of the original Top Ryde Shopping Centre, centralised services were considered desirable and a postal business was included in the complex. The original shopping centre was demolished in 2007 and by 2012 the present Top Ryde City Shopping Centre became the latest location for postal services.
