Statement of Significance

Monomeith Park house and trees are of significance to Cardinia Shire and the West Gippsland Region for their representation of a long-term farming enterprise carried out by the Bourke family which achieved prominence for its beef cattle production, perhaps within the Commonwealth context. The Bourkes also held fame within the district for their horse breeding and competition, as well as possessing links with some of the first permanent settlers along the Sale Road.
