Statement of Significance
Pinjarra Civic Centre has served as the location of the local government for the Shire of Murray since 1964. The Pinjarra Civic Centre is a fair representative example of 1960's civic architecture.
Physical Description
1960's brick render building with neo-art deco styling. Features a small foyer area and stage at the rear.
History
The building was constructed on what was the Pinjarra town oval. The building was opened in May 1964 and served the dual purpose of providing hall facilities for the community as well as accommodation for Shire administration staff. A street parade was held to celebrate the opening of Civic Centre.
In 2009-2010 the asbestos roof sheeting was removed, whilst renovation works were completed in 2010 including, front foyer, re-rendering, new floor coverings, new lighting and electrical upgrade, wet area and kitchen upgrade and repainting.
