Physical Description

The community centre and library building is a cubiform construction of concrete blockwork in the Late 20th century Brutalist style. The building is predominantly surrounded by ashpalt car parking and other community and commercial premises are located on adjacent properties. The main facades of the building have few windows which contributes to the overall impression of the building as a simple block of solid massing. The concrete block work has a regular textured pattern that creates raised vertical lines across all facades. The roof is obscured behind a raised concrete parapet and is clad with two different products; one of which is corrugated zincalume and the larger portion appears to be asbestos. Air-conditioning units are located across the roof. A concrete ramp with a solid concrete balustrade is present across portion of the south-west elevation, and the same balustrade treatment is present on the north-west elevation enclosing a flight of steps. The ramp, which provides access to the hall on the first floor, is protected by a high level canopy extending from the roof line which is supported by concrete pillars that are a prominent element in the façade facing the car park. This façade is also the main entry to the library which is an aluminium framed glass door protected by a shallow curved awning which appears to be a later addition. The north-west façade also has a projecting canopy in which angled glass has been installed. This appears to be a later insert. The south-east elevation of the building is punctuated by regularly spaced aluminium framed windows. Metal escape stairs are located on this façade.

History

This centre was constructed in 1977 by the City of Bayswater to serve a number of functions, including sports and as a community hall. No details of the architect or builder have been found in this research. The building was opened on 15 May 1977 by Hon Kevin Newman, the Federal Minister for the Environment, Housing and Community Development in the Fraser Government. The hall served as a community hall and sports centre until the mid 2010s when proposals were discussed to either demolish and rebuild a new facility or adapt the existing building. The latter course was chosen by the City of Bayswater and portion of the building was adapted for use for the relocated Morley Library. The new library was opened within the building in June 2016. Other portions of the building are still available for community use. The place was named in 1987 recognition of Morley resident Leslie Robert Hansman (c1917-1987) who was President of the Morley Progress Association for many years.

Physical Description

The tree is a mature example of the species, largely surrounded by an asphalt car park with a small area of planting at the base. The tree appears to be in good condition with new growth visible. There is evidence that the tree has been significantly lopped in the past creating a dense and compact shape.

History

This tree is understood to have been planted when the Morley Primary School was present at this site between 1934 and 1951. The land on which the school was located was secured by the Morley Park Progress Association in the late 1920s for £10. This voluntary group were leaders in providing services for the small community. The single classroom school provided for the children in the area until the period following World War Two when the area became more densely settled. With the increased number of students the school facilities and site was no longer appropriate and the building was relocated to the current site for Morley Primary School in Wellington Road. The tree is visible in aerial photographs of the site in 1965 and a 1953 photograph is not conclusive but it appears to be at this location although the site is more densely populated with trees. It is clear that this tree was selected to be saved during clearing of the site for commercial development in the 1960s. The Camphor Laurel tree was a popular choice of tree in the first half of the 20th century because it grew quickly and was very shady, qualities that would have been attractive for a new school.

Statement of Significance

This place is representative of the development of the Morley District and has significance for its civic associations.

Physical Description

A timber framed building on jarrah stumps with jarrah weatherboard cladding below sill height and fibre cement sheeting above. The corrugated iron hip roof continues on the same pitch at each end of the building in the form of a lean-to extension and with a further extension at one end to create a small store room. Entrance is by a wooden ramp leading to two separate doors alongside each other, (originally two separate classrooms), under a small porch roof. Windows are the wooden sash type and have small propped canopies over.

History

The old classroom is now located on the new site of Morley Primary School and is currently used as a cafeteria. Unfortunately, no first hand accounts or photographs of the building being shifted have come to light. The structure, though not on the original site, is significant to the history of the Morley district, which was emerging as a community with its own facilities in the early 1930s. The school was opened in 1934 crowning a long and arduous campaign by the mothers of the district. No other civic structure has survived from this early period.
