Statement of Significance

Cardinia Park, the former Gin Gin Bean Pre-emptive Right, is significant to the Cardinia Shire as an early house connected with the pioneering pastoral period in the district and closely related to the later early farming activity on this property. The house is thought to be among the oldest in the shire and this is supported by a reasonably well preserved front wing which is complemented by a later Edwardian-era wing, thus reflecting stages in the Lecky ownership of the property. The Lecky family was associated with this property from a very early date, James Lecky, the pastoralist, holding the Gin Gin Bean lease from 1846.
