Statement of Significance

The Chewton town hall is the one of the few surviving structure evidencing the operation of the former Borough of Chewton, which existed between 1860 and 1916. It is one of the few buildings in the shire of Metcalfe to survive from the gold rush period of the 1850s. It is a substantially intact and rare example of a small town hall.

The Chewton town hall evidences a wide range of private and public uses reflecting the varying fortunes of an area of settlement that is of central importance in the history of the Colony of Victoria.
