Municipal Inventory	Adopted	24 Feb 1998	Category 4	Category 4 This category is not constrained by the Town Planning Scheme, and therefore a development application is not required for proposed development or demolition of the place. Should a building or demolition application be received by the 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

The railway line at Buntine was the changeover point for crews on the Northam-Mullewa line, therefore barracks were erected for the crew and this provided significant economic opportunities for the town to provide accommodation, food and other supplies, as well as social opportunities afforded by the railway employees, which ranged from establishing a bar at the railway station to starting a rifle club.
