Municipal Inventory	Adopted	27 Oct 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.

History

The Yerecoin Progress Association acquired the land and built the hall in the 1950s. Prior to the hall being built all the social activity took place at the school. Some of the social activities that have taken place in the hall include; sports windups, birthday parties, art, aerobics and badminton. Dances were held regularly, and people would come from surrounding districts and towns. The annual ball is also held at the hall. Films were shown by Vic Basham and Jonah Parker. In the 1930s, tennis courts were established south of where the hall is now. In 1997, a new fire station was built on the south side of the hall.
