Statement of Significance
REVISED STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE, CONTEXT, 2010 What is significant? How is it significant? Why is it significant?
The c1917 reinforced concrete bridge and the site within a 30 metre radius.
The reinforced concrete bridge is historically and technically significant to the Shire of Nillumbik and the Melbourne Metropolitan area.
The bridge is historically and technically significant as an intact example of a pre-1939, reinforced concrete arch bridge constructed by the Monier Reinforced Concrete Construction Company (a firm founded by and closely linked with Sir John Monash) (Criteria F & H). The construction method was rare within the State, and particularly within the semi-rural Shire, where timber bridges were generally used (Criterion B).
