Statement of Significance


Westbourne has regional significance as a beautifully intact weatherboard Victorian villa developed in several stages and demonstrating subtle design differences in Edwardian, Italianate and Federation idioms. It has important historical associations with the pioneer German Wanke family, who played a major role in the early settlement of Harkaway, one of Victoria's German Lutheran communities.
