The CWA Hall represents the role of the CWA in the lives of women in rural areas of Australia. In Derby the CWA has played a significant social and support role in the lives of women in the Kimberley community since the 1950s.
It is a timber framed building with asbestos sheet wall linings and a corrugated iron roof.
Derby has two branches of the CWA. The town branch founded in 1954 and the air branch. The CWA Hall was built by the Town Branch circa the 1960s when membership numbers exceeded forty women. The CWA assisted women in the community to cope with the isolation from family and friends at a time when few government support agencies were available. The hall is an expression of this role.
