Statement of Significance

Waiora is of state significance on account of the following attributes:

- its association with one of Australia's pioneering mining agents, Bowes Kelly, a founder of the Broken Hill Proprietary Company Limited and a later owner of Moorakyne, the neighbouring mansion property to Stonnington;

- the manner in which this property represents the nineteenth century development pattern of this part of Malvern;

- the architectural character of this unusually large single storey Italianate villa (both externally and internally);

- surviving architectural details including the verandah, intact fenestration and impressive interiors with elaborate walls and ceilings and fireplaces;

- the substantial outbuildings of the original development including the stables and coach house; and

- the generous landscape character of the front garden, mature trees, Edwardian picket fence and unusual wrough iron gateway.
