Statement of Significance

A detailed conservation report for this place has been prepared for the Shire by Lorraine Huddle Heritage & Design. According to this report, the grandstand was built using the 'Knitlock do-it-yourself' construction system which was designed by Walter Burley Griffin in 1917. The initiative to use this distinctive construction method is considered to be an important part of the place's significance.
