1931 - The official opening attracted a large crowd Lord Huntingfield, Governor of Victoria 1934-39, officiated.

The Yarrawonga Shire Hall (Constructed in 1930) is architecturally significant as a fine and highly intact example of an interwar town hall, built to an impressive scale on Belmore Street with highly decorated interior spaces.

It exhibits a comparatively diverse combination of municipal and community services in its extant fabric which includes the council chamber with early painted signage and objects integral on the first floor, bio box and winding room, and expansive auditorium with opera pit, raised stage and a fly tower.

It also retains many 1930s interior features including painted door signage to rooms on the first floor, elaborate plasterwork, and timber joinery in the public auditorium and first floor spaces, and war related honour boards.
