Merredin Municipal Heritage Inventory
Under S.45 of the Heritage of Western Australia Act, 1990, each Local Government Authority in the State is required to compile and maintain an inventory of buildings within its district which are, or may become, of cultural heritage significance. Once compiled the inventory is to be reviewed every four years and be updated regularly.
The Shire has expanded its list to include sites of value where the original building may have been demolished or replaced, and also to include historic sites or other items as well as building. The Heritage Council of Western Australia has prepared guidelines for the compilation of a municipal inventory, which provide a standardised methodology for all of the inventories being prepared. These were generally followed within the financial constraints applying to small rural Councils and recognising the availability of relevant data.
