Works were undertaken to secure and stabilise the structures, repair brickwork, replace the roof, rainwater goods and stabilise the distinctive chimneys. This program removed the aggregating invasive alterations and additions and discovered intact remnants of significant fabric were still in serviceable, albeit poor condition. Conservation works carried on through 2019 as grant funding and annual budgets allowed.

In 2021 and following support through the Building Better Regions Fund Program, the Shire initiated a transformational redevelopment of the site. The redevelopment celebrates the remnant fabric which remains through a careful and balanced composition of additions and insertions. The new is clearly distinct from the heritage fabric and subservient in its expression. The original roofline defined by the steep gables and chimneys continues to define the skyline while the new elements are low slung parapet style roofs, constructed and clad in lightweight materials, contrasting the rendered masonry and facebrick of the heritage elements. The interiors continue this theme with the original fabric creating a sense of enclosure, whilst the new elements embrace the site, opening to views and the streetscape. Interpretive elements, such as a digiglass photo of the 1875 façade and Aboriginal storytelling at the Murray River entrance, enhance visitor engagement. The Hotel’s history is integrated throughout, including interactive displays and historical artifacts, creating an immersive experience.

The redevelopment of the Exchange Hotel seeks to celebrate the significance of the place through physical, cultural and social forms of representation. The design of the redevelopment is a balanced composition of heritage and contemporary fabric, with clear delineation being afford each element. New and old in genuine dialogue each with integrity in their representation through both the built form and interiors. The remnants of the Victorian Georgian and Federation Bungalow styles being clearly identifiable and carefully restored. These continue to play their role in the greater heritage fabric of the historic Pinjarra Town Centre.

The place continues to operate as a public house, which it has done since its inception in 1871 as the Exchange Hotel, and for which it is best known to local residents and travellers and forms an important part of its social significance to the community.
