Statement of Significance

REVISED STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE (with AHC criteria) 2001

APPLE ORCHARD & MONTEREY PINE TREE ROWS are significant to the Cottles Bridge locality:

- for its now uncommon expression of the many orchards which previously existed in the Shire, in the form of fruit trees sheltered from wind by rows of 'Pinus radiata' (CriterionA4, B2);

- they recall a time when orchards of this type contributed significantly to the livelihoods of many residents and the growth of the Shire during the late 19th and early 20th centuries ( Criterion A4).
