Geraldton Heritage Precinct / Ngurra Barlunguu

Bill Sewell Community Recreation Complex has cultural heritage significance for the following reasons:the place is prominent in Western Australia's history, in particular, in relation to regional development of the Victoria District (early convict hiring depot and early hospital), and exhibits a large number of relatively intact representative building types in their original context, which evoke its former uses; and, the place is an important historic and social landmark, it has a strong aesthetic value and contributes to the townscape as a substantial coherent group in a simple park-like setting.
