Statement of Significance

Opie's dairy is of local historical and social significance as a rare surviving remnant of the nineteenth century rural agricultural development that was centred around the old village of Kororoit Creek (Deer Park). The mud-mortared bluestone and timber structures demonstrate the vernacular architecture of the period. Remnant landscape elements, such as the peppercorn trees, contribute to the rural atmosphere of the site, surrounded as it is by suburban development. The Dairy and peppercorn tree are the main heritage elements remaining on the site.
