20.01.2022 After such a fantastic Community event at The Hall on Sunday this is really dissapointing to hear!!

15.01.2022 Little bit of interesting information to share... coming from the Albany Heritage Survey and passed on to us by the Albany Senior Planning and Development Compliance Officer. Dates of construction of local Albany Halls... Young Siding Hall- 1923... Upper Kalgan Hall- 1912 Lower Kalgan Hall 1927-1956 Torbay Hall- 1912 Napier Hall- 1954 Elleker Hall 1920 So it would appear that the King River Hall is the oldest of the Albany Areas fantastic Community Halls by 12 years. :)

Love to see you there!! :) An Historical Snippet of King River Hall... "As the population of the King River district increased, residents formed the King River Settlers' Association which, on 5 August 1899, requested a grant for construction of an agricultural hall. The maximum grant of 250 Pounds was approved on 12 January 1900, under authority no. 1622. Approval indicated that the district had the requisite number of no less than 76 people within a seven-mile radius of a central point- usually a Post Office but in the case of King River it was likely the school as there was no Post Office in the district. The numbers were probably assisted by the fact that most families had six or more children" An extract from the state heritage assessment of the King River Hall completed in May 2008.
