Statement of Significance
Jandakot Hall has high social value as the focal point for community activities since its construction in the late 1960s.
Jandakot Hall is significant as a continuation of a community hall which has been a prominent location for the local community since the early 20th century.
Physical Description
Jandakot Hall is built on what is now known as Anning Park, a popular reserve. The Hall was originally made from weatherboard with a high pitched corrugated iron roof. It was rebuilt from light coloured bricks with a flat corrugated iron roof. The hall has a functional appearance with little decoration.
History
The original Jandakot Hall was the only hall in the area and was used for a variety of social occasions. It was lit by petrol lamps until the 1960s because electricity did not extend as far as Jandakot. Dances were held regularly and were very popular. Children were put down to sleep on the stage while their parents danced. Apparently the first Agricultural Show was held there in 1902 and shows were still being held until the early 1930s. A 'Ringmaster' kept control of the events and prizes were awarded for cooking and sewing.
Cricket matches were also popular and played with the fervour of Test Matches. In the 1950s a Ladies Social Club met monthly. The P & C organised the 'Christmas Tree' and party for the children. The hall was sometimes used for church services.
Jandakot Hall was rebuilt in the 1960s and now has Anning Park developed close by. The Hall is still rented out for numerous activities and is in use almost every day.
