Statement of Significance

The ruins of the former Dodd farm are of regional historical significance for its association with the original European settlement and farming of the Maribyrnong Valley, and connections with the prominent local families, Dodds and Delahays. While ruinous, the site offers considerable scope for interpreting the history and environment of the area (within the context of Brimbank Park) and is of very high significance for its archaeological potential.
