Statement of Significance

Yackandandah is a township which, within itself and as a response to the topography of its landscape setting, portrays with considerable integrity the character and principal physical elements of Yackandandah as it was developed up until 1914. The existence of such an intact and well-preserved example of a 19th century mining-based township is of great significance and should be protected. The highlights of Yackandandah are its location nestled in the folds of the surrounding hilly ranges, the compactness of the town layout clustered in a valley, the character and scale of the historic buildings along the main street which is lined by mature exotic trees and the lack of intrusion into the former alluvial mining areas astride the creek flats which contrast with the built-up area of the township.
