Exchange Hotel Wins Conservation or Adaptive Reuse of a Local Heritage Place in 2024 WA Heritage Awards 🎊 We’re incredibly proud to announce that the Exchange Hotel Pinjarra has been awarded the "Conservation or Adaptive Reuse of a Local Heritage Place" at the 2024 Western Australian Heritage Awards. The newly opened venue was honoured as a regional icon and destination hospitality venue. The Exchange Hotel, built in 1866, is one of the oldest buildings in the Peel Region. Following its closure in 2008 and years of neglect, the Shire of Murray acquired the site in 2012 to begin a transformative restoration journey with strong community backing. Working closely with the Shire of Murray, our team at Hunt Architects embraced the challenge of blending heritage conservation with contemporary design. We preserved traditional timber and masonry elements while integrating modern steel-framed features, breathing new life into this historic landmark. Today, the Exchange Hotel is a vibrant hub for heritage tourism, commerce, and community life, proudly honouring both European and Bindjareb Noongar heritage while celebrating the rich cultural diversity of the region. We extend our gratitude to the Shire of Murray, operators Karl and Janine Bullers, and everyone who contributed to this project.
