Muttama is a rural community in the central east part of the South-West Slopes, New South Wales. It is situated by road, about 24 kilometres south of Cootamundra and 25 kilometres north of Gundagai. The population of Muttama is approximately 140.  

​

The name Muttama is derived from the local Aboriginal word meaning 'like it' or 'take it'.

​​​The Muttama Hall was built after World War 1 to provide a venue for meetings, social, commemorative and national remembrance events. Fund raising activities were held over the years to repay the bank loan guaranteed by locals. Muttama Hall was opened on 20th May 1925 with a gala dinner and ball.

 

The Muttama Hall is a registered war memorial, as are its Roll of Honour Boards, with the NSW Government’s Office of Veterans Affairs. Recognition of the hall’s importance, historical and cultural significance has been demonstrated in multiple grants being awarded since 2016. 

​

​Grants and funding from the NSW and Australian Governments and the Cootamundra-Gundagai Regional Council enabled the formerly condemned building to be conserved and restored. Care was taken to retain as much of the original materials and fabric of the building as possible. All of these works have not only restored the iconic community hall to functionality and appeal but enhanced its appearance as a war memorial site. 

​

So for almost 100 years, Muttama Hall has been the central hub for local events and gatherings. The recently upgraded facilities provides a functional, warm and welcoming space for various functions and activities, including weddings, parties, workshops, and community meetings. Its rich history and picturesque surroundings make it a perfect choice for any event.
