The Sheep Pavillion and Gliding Club Rooms (formerly CWA Rooms) illustrate aspects of life which are becoming less common in country towns and therefore have both historical and social significance.
The Greater Sports Ground comprises facilities for cricket, football, hockey, netball, pony club, go-carts, a tractor pull and gliding club. The grounds are irrigated with recycled water. The dirt landing strip is one of the few outside Perth equipped with night lights and is used on occasions by the Defence Forces. There are several buildings on the site, the most interesting being: 1 Sheep pavilion - steel frame with large span roof trusses, corrugated iron roof no walls. 2 Cricket pavilion - brick and iron. 3 Gliding Club Rooms (formally Gutha-Canna CWA Rooms, relocated from Gutha) -wood frame, floor; asbestos cladding and roof. There are two plaques in the Greater Sports Ground: 1 Brass plaque on wooden board, on the front wall of the Gliding Club Rooms, with the following inscription: THIS BUILDING WAS FORMERLY THE GUTHA-CANNA C. W.A. HALL AND IS DEDICATED TO THE MEMORY OF PU. McGINNESS FORMER RESIDENT OF MORA WA AND CO-FOUNDER OF QANTAS AIRWAYS 2 Satin steel plaque, 46cm x 46cm, on the cement base of a granite marker at the player's entrance gate to the main playing field, erected by the Shire Council, with the following inscription: Jack Heitman Oval Dedicated to Jack Heitman on the 2nd May 1976 in appreciation of services to the district officially opened by Sir David Brand. D. C.M. G.
Integrity: Probably very little of the original fabric remains. Modifications: Use of the grounds has continually evolved over the years.
Grounds and buildings are in good condition.
