Category Description
Municipal Inventory Adopted 18 Mar 1998 Category 4

Category 4

Some heritage value, but not essential to an understanding of the district. Recommend that the place is not included on the Town Planning Scheme at this time. Re-assess the significance of the place when the Inventory is regularly reviewed. Assess in more detail when considering a development application. Record the place prior to redevelopment or demolition. This category is not included in the Town Planning Scheme, and therefore a planning application is not required for proposed development or demolition of the place. Should a building or demolition application be received by Shire, it should be considered on the basis of the recognised heritage value, and the owner offered the same consultation facilities as for the Town Planning Scheme. The places in this category should be reviewed regularly with consideration for inclusion in the Town Planning Scheme.

Statement of Significance

died two weeks after laying the foundation stone.

demonstrates an association with many community organisations, and members there-of, in Hyden. It is
integral within the townscape and character of Hyden.

Physical Description

The painted concrete block structure has a domestic hipped roof with a skillion extension
over the central front entry doors. The brick and column piers supporting the entry roof are similar in
design to the hall entry pillars. The roof has been reclad with long sheets of colourbond custom orb metal
cladding. The windows which flank the entry door, are aluminium framed sliding windows which have
replaced timber framed louvre windows. The rear room of the building is a large well appointed kitchen
opening into the "supper" room, into the hall.

History

The East Hyden branch of the CWA was formed at a meeting at Sharp's
Corner in 1934. The same year the Hyden branch of the CWA was formed. The rest room in Hyden was
designed to serve many community needs. Mrs Thelma Watson, the President of CWA, laid a stone on
14 December 1949. The £1500 cost of the place was raised entirely by fundraising in the Hyden
community, and public subscription. Mrs Watson had been a driving force for the establishment of the
CWA rooms, and unfortunately died two weeks after laying the foundation stone.
