Statement of Significance

The place represents a way of life, and associations with the community of Bullaring.

Physical Description

The entire building is constructed of light coloured (salmon) face brickwork with painted timber framed windows, and a skillion tiled roof. A section of glazed panels identifies the hall entry. Along the frontage, the CWA rooms adjoin the hall off the front verandah. The centre comprises a hall, cinema facilities, kitchen, infant health centre and CWA rest rooms. In 1962, the 32 volt lighting system was replaced by the State Electricty grid connection. The outdoor toilets were replaced by interior toilets, and bar facilities were established in 1990.

History

In 1922, the first Bullaring Hall was established, (see Ref No. 145) Although the hall was the social and community focus of the Bullaring and district community, it fell into disrepair during World War Two. In 1958, a meeting was called to discuss a new hall. In 1962, the Bullaring Community Centre was constructed at a costof £10,000. The Bullaring community contributed £3300, raised from a cropping project. The CWA contributed £1700 for their section of the building, and the Corrigin Shire loaned £5000. 42 Bullaring residents repaid the Shire loan over a period of 25 years. The Centre was opened by a Corrigin pioneer, the MLA for Avon, Harry Gayfer. Extensions and improvements to the place in recent years are a testimony to the continued community support.
