Statement of Significance
• The place is associated with the period in which the Belmont community began to celebrate and acknowledge its past through the collection and display of items relevant to the history of Belmont.
• The place has value for its association with the former Belmont Historical Society founded in 1981 who were instrumental in the collection of items and documentation of the City of Belmont's history.
• Since 1989, the place was regularly opened to the public and was visited by many school groups from the City of Belmont and the greater metropolitan area.
Physical Description
1980s red brick building with colorbond roof and a verandah to all sides of the building and shallow pitched gables with timber lattice to the roof. Windows are aluminium framed with security bars.
A rock near the main entrance has plaques acknowledging the contributions to the establishment of the museum.
History
This building was constructed in 1987/88 by the City of Belmont as a Bicenntennial Project and followed the formation of the Belmont Historical Society in 1981. There were close links between the City and the Historical Society with several individuals holding key roles in both organisations.
The museum provided display and research space for a significant collection and was entirely managed by volunteers. The volunteers provided group tours and organised activities for school groups. In 2012 there was Memorandum of Understanding put in place with the City to start taking over the management and running of the Museum.
The collection and the museum display was relocated to the Belmont Hub in late 2020. Since that time the former museum has been used for a range of community functions.
