PAKENHAM AUCTION MART AND SAWMILL

Location 1 STATION STREET, PAKENHAM VIC 3810 Level Heritage Inventory Site

Statement of Significance

Archaeological features associated with early commercial and industrial buildings within the Pakenham township are significant for their role in the early economic development of the area. Additionally, the early sawmill located within the site is also significant for its contribution to manufacturing industries within the township. The auction mart also possesses social significance as a place of meeting, exchange and commerce in the early stages of Pakenham’s development.

In addition to their social, historical and economic significance, any remaining features / structural foundations would also be technically significant, as they would be representative of early 20th century life within a regional centre of Victoria.
