Statement of Significance

The place represents an image of Kulin and demonstrates an
association with the civic administration and civic identities.

History

The Local Government Act 1960 reflected the expansion of country
Roads Boards authority to include activities not associated with roads, and providing more social
responsibility in the community. The Roads Boards throughout the state became Shires in 1961. In
line with the new image of the Kulin Shire, a new Shire administration facility was constructed in
1966. The estimated cost of $75,000 was considered excessive by some, but a ratepayers
referendum endorsed the expenditure. Opened in 1968.
