Statement of Significance

The farmstead at 975 Donnybrook Road and its associated domestic and agricultural buildings are of significance.

The site is historically and archaeologically significant.

The site is of historical significance in that it is typical of the small farmsteads that appeared across the region in the early 20th century.

The property and its surroundings may contain archaeological deposits relating to its domestic and pastoral use at the beginning of the 20th century, and potentially even earlier.

Any archaeological evidence that may be obtained from the site would have some potential to add to the overall understanding and insight into the local social, economic and commercial development of the Donnybrook area from post-European contact onwards.
