Statement of Significance
The building was constructed during the mining boom of the mid 1960s and was the social centre of the Town. Open hours used to be 11 am to 11 pm but have now been reduced to a 4 pm closing time. In addition to use of the bars and kitchens for golf and bowling club functions, the lounges and meeting rooms are still well used for travelling shows and seminars.
