[1/1] Wood Street Commercial & Civic

Statement of Significance

The mainly Edwardian-era Wood Street Commercial & Civic Precinct is significant to the Cardinia Shire because it provides evidence of the variety of buildings (shops, post office) and landscaping (elms) which made up the fabric of the Shire's early service centres, in this case Beaconsfield. The precinct is early, judged among other similar precincts within the shire, and the comparative completeness of the group allows scope to interpret the place historically, as part of the day to day lives of local people over a long period
