Municipal Inventory Continued
The Shire of Victoria Plains complied a Municipal Inventory in 1997 with the assistance of a Heritage Consultant. The Heritage Act 1990 requires every Shire in the State to have this document in order to record places of heritage and cultural significant.
We consider our Inventory to be a living and open document that can be added to as the years go by. The Victoria Plains Municipal Inventory records over 200 significant places and is filled with interesting anecdotes, photographs and important history. It is available to view at the Shire Office.
Welcome to Victoria Plains
The Victoria Plains Road Board was one of the first of nineteen road boards established in Western Australia in 1871 to build and maintain roads and bridges throughout the state. In the early days, Victoria Plains stretched from the Indian Ocean to the South Australian border and from Carnamah in the North, to Bolgart in the South.
Today, our total area lies across 256,973 hectares with a population of 1000. The area is renowned for its prosperous agricultural activities, beautiful wildflowers, longstanding heritage and of course, the home of the Benedictine Community at New Norcia.
Mission Statement
The Shire of Victoria Plains endeavours at all times to provide quality services in developing and maintaining the lifestyle for residents and visitors and ensuring that the Shire is a safe and desirable place to live, work and visit.
