Statement of Significance

REVISED STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE, CONTEXT, 2010

Destroyed in February 2009 Fire. Amendment C59. Not revised.

BUTLER STUDY, 2001
Although relocated, altered in detail and converted into a residence, the former Hurstbridge Railway Station building is of local historic significance:

- as the first Hurstbridge Railway Station building;

- an illustration of the simple structures used to serve railway travellers in small country towns in Victoria during the early 20th century;

- (with Diamond Creek) the only C-type portable surviving in the Melbourne metropolitan area;

- a reminder of the Eltham Railway Station (opened 1902) which was also removed in recent decades, reflection of the suburbanisation of the Hurstbridge community.
