Statement of Significance

The Wonga Park Hall and Mechanics' Institute is of local significance, reflecting the development of Wonga Park from the Eight Hour Pioneer Settlement through to the present time, and containing evidence of probably all but the earliest period within its existing fabric. As one of two principal meeting places over many years, the hall has served as an important community meeting place, and is probably of social value to recent and long-time local residents. Its setting within the Wonga Park Reserve, a space long-dedicated to community recreation, is part of its significance. (Criterion A4, D2, G1)
