Statement of Significance

James Hicks Pty Ltd. Pottery (kiln, early clay sheds, office) is significant to the Cardinia Shire as one of the Shire's two early terra-cotta manufacturing complexes which still retains notable early elements and highlights the development of extractive and secondary industries in the district. This pottery is an important district industrial site with remaining brick kilns and other structures associated with brick-making, pipe-making and pottery production from the post-First World War era. The site is also linked with the locally important family, Hicks.
