Statement of Significance
The site is significant in representing the beginnings of the Corrigin Roads Board.
History
The area of Corrigin was originally under the jurisdiction of the Greenhills Road Board, then the Dangin Roads Board,. After settlers began arriving about 1906, progress associations formed and lobbied for separate representation. In 1913, the Kunjin Roads Board was formed and meetings took place in Kunjin. After 2 or 3 meetings they moved to Corrigin in 1914. The move to Corrigin signalled a change of name, venue and division into six wards; Kunjin, Buliaring, Kurrenkutten, Dondakin, Kondinin (later Wogerlin) and Central. The Kunjin building was removed to the Goyder Street Corrigin site where the new Roads Board office was built in 1923. The former office subsequently became a storeroom for fox tails and ears, and later the poison shed. It has since been demolished.
