Statement of Significance

The association with Sir William Hesseltine and the age of the building is significant.

Physical Description

The School House is located in a residential section of Wyalkatchem on a corner block The land is flat and sandy in nature. A small native garden has been planted in the front yard. The lot is full enclosed by a cyclone mesh fence (approximately 2 metres high) on the western, northern and eastern sides. A 1 metre high mesh fence, with timber top and bottom rails, runs across the front (southern) of the property and along the southern portion of the western boundary. A wrought iron gate is centrally located along this fence. The house is a single storey, timber framed building clad with weatherboards to the front and sides. Asbestos cement sheeting has been used at the rear. The gable roof is covered with corrugated galvanised iron which has been painted red. At the front, the roof extends down to form a skillion roof for the verandah. A skillion roof is attached to the western side of the building forming a side verandah. This verandah hs been enclosed with asbestos cement sheeting to the lower section of the wall with louvre windows above. At the rear, the roof has again been extended down to form a skillion roofed extension, although this roof does not run across the full width of the house. This rear verandah area has also been enclosed and is clad with asbestos cement sheeting. A single brick chimney, with string course is situated towards the eastern side of the building. The interior has been divided into four rooms under the main roof with two additional rooms in the enclosed, western side verandah and a bathroom and laundry under the rear verandah. The front door opens directly into the main room (lounge) with centrally located doorways leading into the kitchen at the rear and thence to the back of the house. There is no central passage. The main bedroom opens direcly into the lounge room. A secondary bedroom is located immediately to the north of the main bedroom with a door opening into the kitchen. Access to the two rooms on the verandah are from the second bedroom and front verandah. The building has retained original tongued and grooved floorboards, casement windows to the front and eastern elevations, a double hung sash window in the seondary bedroom and original joinery. Some of the interior wall cladding has been replaced with plasterboard. The ornate timber mantle piece in the lounge is not original.

History

Built in 1926 at a cost of 475 pounds and was the first house built for teaching staff in Wyalkatchem. Mr W Heseltine was Headmaster at Wyalkatchem school from 1932 to 1934 and lived in this house. His son, Sir William Heseltine was private secretarty to Sir Robert menzies and then held the same position with Queen Elizabeth II. The building became a museum in 1984 and is maintained by the Shire.

Integrity/Authenticity

Good Degree. The building is very much as built and should be preserved.

Condition

Reasonable. But remedial work is required to the roof and gutters.

Statement of Significance

Essential to the operation of a stem powered railway. Now used as a water source fo the school.

Physical Description

An earth fill dame which has been improved over the years with a concrerte overspill weir and a new lead in channel.

History

Construction started in 1911 and was completed in 1912. It was hoped that the first winter rains would be collected but it was found that the dam leaked. Puddling work was carried out in 1912 to seal it.Water was pumped from the dam to the holding tank at the railway Yards with water being used for steam engines shedded or passing through Wyalkatchem. Water was also used to supply railway accommodation at the station and close by. There is a very large catchment area which has been extended since the dam was built. The dam now supplies water for reticuation of the Hgh School grounds.

Integrity/Authenticity

Little has changed other than the direction of the flow of water from the dam to the high school.

Shire of Wyalkatchem

Construction Date

Constructed from 1937

Demolition Year

N/A

Statement of Significance

Railways were the main mode of transport of people and goods and the station was the centre of railway activities in Wyalkatchem.

Physical Description

A timber weatherboard building with a hipped clay tile roof. Most of the interior layout was conformist but has been changed in recent years. The bitumen platform is still in existance and a sand box is located on the west edge of the platform. The lever frame is still intact at the other end. A fence has been erected on the platform edge as a protection against risk to visitors to the station by passing tarins.

History

Completed March 1937 to replace an earlier building on Railway Terrace. The Wyalkatchem Roads board wanted the building on the North side of the line on Railway Terrace for easy access by Townspeople. The Railways would not agree to this as the Roads Board were insisting on a brick building to fit in with the town reuirements of this type of construction. This debate went on for some time and in the end the building was constructed of timber and tile on the South side of the line and a bridge was constructed over the line to give passengers safe access to the station.

Integrity/Authenticity

Good Degree. The fence is not original and detracts from the site but is necessary. a radio transmitting mast has been erected at the building. External integrity is Good. Internal changes have been made.

Condition

Is well maintained by the Shire and in regular use as a community facility.

15755 Wyalkatchem Railway and CBH Precinct

Statement of Significance

the place is an integral element in the cultural environment of the railway precinct in the town of Wyalkatchem, and together with the trainmen's barracks, goods shed and crane, and timber station building represents the ongoing history of the railway in Wyalkatchem and is a reminder of the important part the railway has played in the development of the district and town since 1911; the place was constructed in 1916, at the junction of the agricultural lines linking Northam, Merredin and Southern Cross, which were part of the State Government's investment in the development of the State’s agriculture between 1900 and the 1930s; the place demonstrates the aesthetic qualities of an early 1900s residence in the high-pitched iron roof extending over the verandahs, symmetrical façade and corbelled chimney; the place is a good and well-documented example of the recycling of structures that was common to Western Australian Government Railway operations; and, the place was the residence of the Wyalkatchem Station Master from 1916 to 1985.

N/A

Statement of Significance

Built to provide water to the recreation area and still used for the same purpose.

Physical Description

A simple earth dam originally relying on water run off from the Townsite and overflow from the Railway dam.

History

This is a recent dam built in 1970 to supply water to the recreation oval and the tennis courts. Scheme water was used from 1959 when water from the Kalgoorlie Pipeline was piped to town. The dam was built to reduce costs and the use from the "drinking water supply". The dam is also used to take treated effluent from the Sewerage treatment Facility in Wyalkatchem to augment the rainfall catchment. A survey was completed in 2002 and the dm has now been cleaned out to improve the holding capacity.

Integrity/Authenticity

Good Degree

Condition

Very Good condition now that work has been cmpleted on desilting the dam.

Statement of Significance

This is one of four such buildings built in WA, it is associated with the Lady novar, Lady Helen Munro Ferguson. The external appearance has been maintained.

Physical Description

The place is a late example of a Federation Bungalow style, timber framed, weatherboard clad building with a Marseilles profile terracotta tiled roof, constructed in 1922, with extensions carried out in 1932-33 and 1945-48. The place was the first rest home established in Western Australia by the Bush Nursing Society for expectant mothers, the model for four other such hostels, and fulfilled its intended use for a longer period, becoming the longest running hostel in the State. It is rectangular in plan form and, as originally constructed, comprised a core area of four rooms with a central passage to the kitchen and other service areas at the rear. It was constructed with a wide verandah on all sides under a steeply pitched, hipped roof. Over time minor additions and alterations have been carried out, including the enclosure of the north-eastern side verandah and minor alterations and additions at the back. Original joinery comprises the front doors, a matching door at the back of the central passage, a series of French doors opening onto the verandah, a timber window to the kitchen, timber internal doors and a decorative timber frieze in the central passage.

History

One of only 4 such places in WA. Built with funds from the British Red Cross Society. The building was named after Lady Helen Munro Ferguson, the then Lady Novar, the wife of the Governor of Australia at the time. It was the last such hostel to remain open for it's original purpose. Closed 1952 and now used as a private residence. In 1952 a 999 year lease was issued to Silver Chain District and Bush nursing.

Integrity/Authenticity

Good externally- Modified internally, but generally satisfactory.

Condition

Good- Maintained by the Shir of Wyalkatchem.

N/A

Statement of Significance

The first major water supply for Wyalkatchem.

Physical Description

A deep excavated dam with earth wall. Concrete channels are used to carry some water from the catchment area but these are not extensive. There is currently an operating pump on the site as water from the dam it still used for garden retriculation.

History

Built in 1925 as the Town water supply and was in use for this purpose until 1959. The capacity was 5 million gallons but it was many years before a reasonable amount of water was collected. Additional catchment was added in 1932 and water reached a depth of 18 feet that year.Water was not reticulated to the town and until 1936, when a powered pump was installed, water was drawn from the dam by windmill, which meant no wind no water! In 1938 a team of 28 men were employed to improve the drains, clean up the catchment area and re-excavate the dam to improve the water supply. After this work, the dam was known to overflow butin 1950 due to low rainfall and increased use, it ran dry and water was carted to the town from Merredin. Management order for the Shire of Wyalkatchem gazetted 23/03/2002

Integrity/Authenticity

Good Degree

Condition

Fair - the walls are ok but there is a build up od silt which should be removed to improve capacity.

N/A

Statement of Significance

One of the earliest surviving buildings. The types of commerce has varied but generally relate to essential needs of a small town. The association with Bertie johnston is significant.

Physical Description

Johnston's Buildings are located on the north west corner of Honour Avenue and Railway Terrace in the commercial area of Wyalkatchem. Commercial buildings are positioned on the northern side of Railway Terrace, an extremely wide street, facing the railway line to the south. No buildings have been constructed on the southern side of the road. A small, waterwise garden as been developed on the vacant block of land on the corner of Honour Avenue and Railway Terrace. The place is a brick and iron building with a front verandah which extends out to cover the public footpath. The brickwork to the front of the buildings has been rendered and features a raised parapet wall with central triangular pediment and alternating horizonal and vertical plaster elements above the verandah's skillion roof line. The pediment bears the date '1921' and immediately below this the words: 'Johnston's Buildings' surround by a rendered rectangle. The verandah is supported on turned timber posts. The footpath immediately in front of the shops has been laid with brick paving. The parapet wall conceals the buildings' iron clad skillion roof. At the rear of the building it is possible to see the single remaining chimney stack, which is covered with pebble dash, and a raised party wall between the general store and the hairdresser. A skillion roofed brick addition has been constructed at the rear of the general store. The building currently contains three separate shops (from west to east): general store, hairdresser and butcher. Ther general store occupies what was once two separate shops. Each of the three shops has a wide single, timber framed window (the general store has two). Below the verandah line the rendered brickwork of the shop fronts have been treated differently: the general store wall has been painted,, the hairdresser wall has been re-rendered and marked out to resemble dressed limstone blocks and the butcher's wall is clad with tiles. While both the general store and the butcher features entry doors which lie flush with the line of the front wall, the hairdresser's shop has a recessed door. The original entry door at the western end of the general store was blocked up sometime in the 1970s. It was possible to view the interiors of only the general store and the butcher. The general store featured painted brick walls, timber floors and asbestos and batten ceilings. The partitioning wall which once existed between what was once two shops has been replaced with an I beam just below ceiling height. The original fireplace has been retained in the kitchen at the rear. A double hung sash window (kitchen) has also survived. The butcher's shop had similar features with the addition of a cool room. The Honour Avenue sidewall of the shop features a mural depicting the history of Wyalkatchem.

History

Built by Bertie Johnston.

Integrity/Authenticity

Still Maintains outward appearance of buildings of the age and construction. High degree of Authenticity.

Condition

Generally good externally but with some deterioration of the internal fabric.

Statement of Significance

The original and only hotel in Wyalkatchem and has kept it's original use. It was the first brick building of any kind in the town. The interrior has had some changes but not significant.

Physical Description

Comprises of the old and new hotel adjoining. Both are made from brick and iron. The original part of the hotel is single storey, with a parapet at the front displaying the title ‘Wyalkatchem Hotel’. The new part of the hotel is double storey with a timber verandah. The original hotel was built in 1919 with the adjoining extension in 1925.

History

The first brick building in Wyalkatchem which was built for Bertie Johnston. The two storey additions were designed by Herbert Parry and built by WH Roberts in 1925. William Smith from Kulin was the first licensee. Part of the roof and verandah were replaced after storm damage in 1937. In 1950 the Wyalkatchem Roads Board complained about the deterioration of the hotel but it wasn't until 1957 that work was carried out. The Johnston family then sold the hotel in 1958. Several people have owned the hotel since then.

History

The district was first explored in 1864 but it wasn’t until 1904 that land was taken up and it was as late as 1908 that the townsite was officially declared. When the extension of the railway east from Dowerin was planned in 1908 land was set aside for a future townsite in the area of Wyalcatchem Tank. The route of the railway and site for a station was not fixed until 1910, and action followed to then fix the position of the townsite and survey town lots. Following the survey of the lots the townsite was gazetted spelt Wyalkatchem in 1911.

Statement of Significance

Much of th infrastructure of this precinct remains in good condition and although not used for railway purposes id significant for both it's original and current use.

Physical Description

The Wyalkatchem Railway Precinct is located on the southern side of Wyalkatchem's commercial area. The preinct is bounded on the northern side by Railway Terrace and on the southern side by Grace Street. The CBH Bin is located on Railway Terrace, while traffic access to the Railway Station is from Grace Street. The Railway Barracks are located on the southern side of Grace Street, opposite the Railway Station. The CBH Bin is a long, rectangular structure which runs parallel to Railway Terrace and the railway line. Its timber framed construction supports curved, horizontal sheets of corrugated galvinised iron which form the vertical walls of the individual bins. The whole structure is covered with an asymmetrical gable roof clad with corrugated galvanised iron. The interior was not inspected. The Railway Station is a long, timber framed building clad with weatherboards which sits on a bitumen platform. The hipped roof is covered with clay tiles and extends beyond the line of the walls to form verandahs to all four sides. The long structure contains a set of rooms at either end of the building which are separated by an open area, covered by the hipped roof. The verandah roof is supported with stop chamfered posts with cantilevered sections. A picket fenceis located on the northern side of the platform to stop people walking out onto the railway tracks. The interior spaces were not expected. The Lever Frame sits on a raised timber platform at the eastern end of the Railway Station. A pair of steps leads up to the platform and timber posts in each corner support an iron hand rail. The Railway Barracks are composed of two, single storey timber framed structures clad with weatherboards, with gable roofs covered with corrugated galvanised iron. A kitchen is located at the northern end and then individual cabins lie on either side of a central corridor. The barracks are surrounded by a cyclone fence and it was not possible to inspect the interiors or the arrangement of the cabins. The Loading Platform, Crane and Goods Shed are located to the south and east of the CBH Bin. The Loading Platform is built up with earth which is retained behind timber railway sleepers held in place with vertical railway lines on the southern, eastern and western sides. On the northern side, the platform slopes down towards Railway Terrace. The Platform is finished with a layer of gravel. The 5-ton Crane is located at the south east corner of the Platform. The steel framed Crane sits on a concrete mounting block which is separate from the Platform. Wyalkatchem Railway and CBH Precinct comprises Railway Barracks (1911), Loading Ramp & 5-ton Crane (1911-1916), Goods Shed (1923), CBH Wheat Bin (1936), and Station Building (1937).

History

The precinct dates from the arrival of Railway in Wyalkatchem and has been added to over the years.

Condition

Good-With all buildings within the precinct being used, they are generally in good condition with the exception of the Barracks which requires extensive renovations.

History

The sports ground was vested in the Wyalkatchem Roads Board in 1921. There have been problems with the management and control of the grounds and at one time there was a possibility that the recreation facilities would be moved to anothe site. In 1950 the Roads Board confirmed the Grounds would stay where they were. The Wyalkatchem trotting Club was formed in 1922 and went through various stages of management and success. The current organisation held it's first meeting in October 1947.

High Degree/High Degree. The integrity is good and the building are authentic. It is possible that because of demand that there will need to be additional buildings or facilities on site. It is strongly recommended that these do not interfere with the existing building and that they are of a complimentary style.

Condition

Well Maintained by the Shire and water is avaliable from a dam on site for reticulation of the grassed areas. Buildings are of mixed age but are representative of the years in which they are built. The Trotting Track is not used for races at this time but the infrastructure should be maintained as there may be some more in the fiuture.

N/A

Statement of Significance

Part of the origins of Korrelocking and Wyalkatchem and used as a holding area for stock being transported from the district by rail. Now significant as a Nature Reserve.

Physical Description

A full description of the Reserve can be found in the 1984 publication of the Nature Reserves of the Shire of Wyalkatchem by Moore & Williams. Slamon Gums are a feature and Gimlet and York Gums are noted. Melaleuca thickets surround a seasonal swamp at the SW corner and there is varied scrub understory. 44 bird species have been known to use the reserve and Kangaroos and Evchidnas are permanent residents

History

Dates back to 1884 as a stopping place for temas. Two wells were sunk on the reserve, one on Tyler Rd which is in bad condition and the other off centre of the reserve to the East of Tyler Road. In 1922 the Reserve was vested in the Minister of Water Supply. The reserve was used for grazing and a lease was issued in 1960 which was terminated in 1978 to protect the native Flora and Fauna. in 1983, the reseve was vested in the Shire and CALM. A car parking area has been built on the reserve with access from Tyler Road and picnic tables installed. A walk trail has been marked and information boars erected.

Integrity/Authenticity

Good Degree.

Condition

as this is a nature reserve the less outside influences of man is a prime consideration. No attempt has been made to change the area other than the parking are and walk trail. There has been fire damage to the NE corner but growth is naturally reestblishing itself. There are areas on the eastern side that are infested with blue lupins and some efforts are being made to control this.

Statement of Significance

Significant as a reminder of sacrifices made during the was by local residents.

Physical Description

Wyalkatchem R.S.L Memorial Hall is located on the southern side of Wilson Street in a residential area. A pipe framed chain link runs across the front of the property and returns down the western side where it butts up against the northern (front) side of the building. A pair of brick toilet blocks are located near the rear property line (south); these are of recent construction. The Memorial Hall was constructed in two parts. The first stage was the front section, a brick and iron single storey structure with a flat roof designed in Inter-War Functionalist style with a raised flower bed which incorporates elements of the Functionalist style and a curved, flat roof porch. The second state is the rear section, a single storey timber framed building, set on timber stumps and clad with horizontal sheets of corrugated, galvanised iron to dado height and battened asbestos cement sheeting above. The gable roof clad is with corrugated, galvanised iron sheets. The interior features rooms opening off a central hallway which then leads into a large hall at the rear. Honour Boards for the Wyalkatchem District, Korrelocking and Benjaberring have been hung on the walls in this area.

History

Plans were drawn up as early as 1950 but construction only took place in 1955. The foundation stone was laid by Fred Cheyney, the State President of the RSL, in April 1955. The building was opened in 1956.

Condition

Good- externally- the interior to be checked.
