Historical information

The grandstand, exhibition hall and low picket fence were built by Oct. 1910.
On 12 December, 1933 the grandstand, fencing and small outhouses at the Toodyay Showgrounds were destroyed by fire. The prompt arrival of the fire brigade saved the exhibition hall, the refreshment rooms and dressing sheds from a similar fate.
Tenders to build a replacement grandstand were advertised in July 1934.
