Statement of Significance

The site is significant for its association with the Great Southern Railway and with the
development of transport.

Physical Description

The site is north west of the siding closer to the Great Southern Highway. Road and
foundation remnants are still visible as the facility was demolished following its closure
in 1976/77.

History

Bulk handling facilities for grain were first built in the shire at Woodanilling in 1940. In
1959, the Boyerine Receival Point was established with a bin capacity of 5,400 tonnes.

When the new 'A' type fixed machinery installation (capacity 17,600 tonnes) and open
bulk head (4,900f) replaced the old installations at Woodanilling, the Boyerine bin was
closed down.
