Heritage project interest sought

The Shire of Murray is seeking expressions of interest from hospitality operators for the Edenvale Heritage Precinct’s more than 130-year-old homestead.

In the heart of Pinjarra, stands the iconic and multi-award-winning Edenvale Heritage Precinct – a cultural landmark renowned for its rich history, arts, events and striking built landscape.

Shire of Murray chief executive officer Dean Unsworth said it is a very exciting time for Pinjarra, experiencing steady growth and increased visitation.

The Shire of Murray is looking to attract an interested hospitality operator who shares its aspiration for this business to be an iconic destination eatery in the Peel Region.

“The Edenvale Heritage Precinct is the perfect location to establish a popular hospitality destination, less than an hour south of Perth and close to other urban areas. The charming venue creates a memorable experience for all, set in a stunning landscape with plenty of indoor and outdoor dining spaces and grounds for the kids to run and explore.”

The homestead, nestled within the precinct is highly valued by locals and well-frequented by visitors from the metropolitan and south-west. The heritage building is ready for operation with jarrah floors, multiple fireplaces, large windows, a cool room, commercial kitchen, and is partially fitted out with furniture.

Others who call the bustling precinct home include the vintage machinery museum, art gallery, art and craft shop, art school, quilters shop and the area’s historical society.

The precinct is also the home to the annual Pinjarra Festival which attracts more than 25,000 people to the grounds each year. It will host the popular Fairbridge Festival in April 2024 following a competitive EOI process which saw the precinct awarded as its new location. Along with a number of other calendar events including regular markets, weddings and private functions throughout the year.
