The White Peak Quarry has high historic significance as the site where considerable quantities of stone came from for use in many of the buildings in Chapman Valley and Geraldton.
Granite from this quarry was used for the construction of the nearby White Peak Homestead as well as numerous buildings in Geraldton, including the Bill Sewell Complex. Stone from the White Peak Quarry was also used for the harbour works in Geraldton. In the same way that the townsite of Protheroe was established at the Narra Tarra Mine, a small townsite emerged near the White Peak Quarry.
