The road is a very good example of a hand knapped and pitched road construction which has stood the test of time, remaining in very good condition. The road has historic value for its association with government unemployment relief programs during the depression. The road has historic value for its associations with the development of transport services and the expansion of the district of Gingin.
Road extending from the Waterville Road to Cowalla Road. Road currently unused and partially fenced off but in intact condition.
The Public Works Department Road was constructed from Monument Hill to Greenwood and was the forerunner of the Cowalla Road. It was constructed by Government unemployment relief as a result of action by the Moore River & Gingin Brook Progress Association (formed on the 9/9/1922) to obtain a motor road to the Cowalla Bridge for the river residents. Progress was halted as a result of a change of State Government and the project was abandoned.
