FORMER BEEHIVE BUILDING SITE

Location

File Number

HE/09/3006-02

Level

Heritage Inventory Site

Statement of Significance

The remains from each of the phases of the site have the potential to provide information on development and early life in the city of Bendigo. While the actual integrity and significance of the archaeological remains are not known at this stage there is a strong possibility that remains may have considerable significance in providing scientific and educational information that could not be found from any other source and would be of benefit to the local community, the gold fields communities and possibly the State.

The multiple phases of building and occupation within the subject area as described above indicate that there is potential for archaeological features and deposits to be present. Later disturbance to the ground surface across the property is likely to have been superficial overall, though there may be areas of significant localised ground disturbance when the three storey building on Hargreaves Street was demolished and the subsequent twentieth century buildings constructed.
