The Chapman Valley Shire Offices have local historic and social significance as the centre of local government in the district since 1964.
Located at the heart of the Nabawa Townsite, the Shire Office is set back off the Chapman Valley Road and accessed via a semi-circular driveway in a garden setting. Originally a combination of cream and salmon coloured face brick, the external walls are now painted. The building has a low pitch gable roof with a projecting gable over the Council Chambers to the southern end of the building. A central entry is accessible via a ramp and stairs and features glass doors and windows. The style and scale of the building is fairly typical of its era and of similar use buildings in rural shires. The Shire’s Works Depot is located to the rear (east) of the Shire office.
The Shire of Chapman Valley office was officially opened on 28 November 1964 by the Premier, the Honourable Sir David Brand. The Chief Executive Officer at the time was L Shervington and the President was LR Forrester. Before this the Shire administration was conducted in the Nanson Roads Board Hall. The building has undergone several additions since its opening to accommodate an expanded office.
