Heritage Inventory Site

Statement of Significance

The Whittlesea Station site is very likely to contain sub-surface deposits relating to its construction and use, particularly around the station platforms and in the engineering area around the footprints of the engine shed and turntable to the south of the platforms.

Whilst these deposits are most likely to comprise construction or fuel waste (for example ash pits) they probably also include structural remains (relating to the turntable for example) and may include artefact deposits. All have the potential to provide information concerning the construction, use and dismantling of the Whittlesea Station site and the Melbourne to Whittlesea railway line as a whole.
