Statement of Significance
The Hedley Public Hall is a rectangular timber gabled hall formerly clad in weatherboards, but now over clad in brick. A substantial low pitched gable brick extension has been added at the front and west side (c. 1970), leaving only the gable end of the original hall visible above its roof. This has a close spaced ladder frame above an arched rail with a flagpole finial at the ridge. The design of this element suggests that an originally interesting building may have been lost under the recent cladding and extensions.
Aesthetically, although altered it is one of the better examples of small rural halls erected at this time in the Shire and, together with the adjacent Church, expresses the historic focus of the Hedley township. (AHC criterion - E.1)
