Commercial Conservation Precinct

This precinct contains a number of individually important public buildings and contributory commercial and residential buildings. The first land to be sold in this precinct was the important corner allotments at the main intersection in Buninyong. Significantly this land was purchased at the first land sale for Buninyong in May 1851, and the adjoining allotments were purchased in the following year. Several early photographs illustrate the character of the precinct with the wide gravel streets lined with shops.

Today the former uniformity of the precinct has been greatly altered, as many buildings have been removed. The intrusive character of the recent road treatment and car parking has detracted from the earlier expansive form. However the precinct does retain a collection buildings related to the social and economic life of Buninyong and are therefore of local significance.
