Statement of Significance

The 1934 building is important at a local level as an example of a typical dairy industry building of the 1930s found in many country towns in Victoria.
Architecturally the building's clean lines emphasised by the white painted concrete trim against the red brick walls is not unusual but has been well maintained. Historically the building represents the growth of the dairying industry in the Shepparton district. Placed at street level in front of the huge modern Bonlac plant, the red brick building gains significance from sharing the site with its replacement building but maintaining its prominent position. Sited on one of Shepparton's main through roads the buildings reflect the importance of dairying in this rich irrigation town.
