Inclusion in the Shire's Town Planning Scheme means a local recognition of the heritage value of a place. Full implication of inclusion in the Town Planning Scheme are outlined in Appendix 1. Should a development application be received for a place, an assessment of the appropriateness of development would be made. Professional advice and consultation would be available, from the Heritage Council of WA, the Shire or specialised consultants, to inform property owners of development options should it be appropriate. Heritage Council and National Trust properties also included in the Town Planning Scheme Provisions.

History

The site was originally occupied by a dwelling owned by Jim Kerr who was a railway line -runner between Yilliminning and Stretton. It was used by TOK H. The Yealering branch of the CWA was formed on 14 May 1932. The CWA provides interaction and a support network for country women. The CWA building was facilitated by fundraising in the local community. The community support and co-operation built the place in terms of finance and labour. The building also provided for Infant Health Clinic services. In 1981 the Yealering branch of the CWA disbanded, and when the rooms closed in 1984, they were vested in the Shire. The Yealering community has continued to use the place regularly for various community gatherings and meetings.
