History Thematic Context Statement of Significance Recommendations References Assessed by: Andrew Ward Assessment date: Loddon Heritage Study Ea4 Place Railway earthworks Formerly Proposed railway from Shelbourne to Llanelly Address Blossom Hill Road to Shelbourne station g Eastville Property Information Location Boundaries Map / Plan ref. 673160 Laanecoorie North 7624-2-N Existing Heritage Council Register No Listings Government Building Register No National Estate Register No Planning Scheme No Description Proceeding from north to south, the earthworks commence at the Blossom Hill road where an embankment runs out of a c. 3 metre deep cut. The embankment is penetrated by a cement faced culvert and there is a mature tree very close to the projected railway that may pre-date the works. This section is surrounded by gum trees, the south end of the cutting opening onto a field without any formation. Beyond is a gravel road with the cattle grid and associated timber structures in situ. There is another open field on the south side of the crossing followed by a further embankment and cut. Further south again, the bridge over the Bradford Creek has been removed along with a lesser structure further to the south. A farm track uses the low formation here as an access road, the remainder of the earth works between this point and the Shelbourne station yard being understood to be inconsequential. Condition: Sound, timber structures unsound. Integrity: High at the northern end of the works, low elsewhere. History The Maldon to Laanecoorie railway was authorised under Act no. 821 ("The Octopus Act") of 12th. December, 1884. The line from Maldon (Laanecoorie Junction) was opened as far as Shelbourne, a distance of 9.89 miles, on 24th. March, 1891. Earthworks, bridges and culverts were constructed for a distance of 1 mile 58 chains beyond this point. The works formed part of the projected line to Llanelly on the Dunolly to Inglewood railway. In his evidence before the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Railways reporting on the proposed line from Shelbourne to Cousens' Corner on the route of the projected railway to Laanecoorie the engineer in chief of the Victorian Railways, Francis Rennick, stated that the line was not completed on account of an error in the construction estimate. It had been proposed to complete the railway as far as the end of the earthworks but the authorization of a station at Shelbourne, 1.75 miles further back, caused the Department to stop plate laying at that point. The Standing Committee was also informed that the expected traffic from the projected Cousens' Corner railway would consist principally of grain, hay and chaff with some live stock, wool, dairy produce and passenger traffic. It resolved on 12th. December, 1895, not to complete the line for the following reasons: - the district was already well served by railway communication, - production in the district would not increase following construction of the line, - extension would add considerably to the loss presently being sustained by the Shelbourne extension, and - any new traffic obtained by the line would be at the expense of other nearby railways already constructed. Thematic 3. Developing local, regional and national economies. Context 3.7. Moving goods and people. 3.7.3.1. Building and maintaining railways. Statement of The earthworks associated with the projected railway between Shelbourne and Significance Cousens' Corner and forming part of the Maldon (Laanecoorie Junction) to Laanecoorie and Llanelly railway are historically important. This importance (Criterion A) is derived from the manner in which they demonstrate the impetus for railway construction during the late Victorian era authorized especially by Acts nos. 682 and 1884 (82 lines), the section beyond Shelbourne having been abandoned prior to completion. It is in this respect a unique reminder (Criterion B) of the Railway Boom years and compares with the later Millewa South railway in the Mallee for which comparatively inconsequential earthworks were also constructed. The survival of the cement faced culvert and cattle grid offer information concerning construction standards of the day whilst the surviving trees on the railway reserve demonstrate the dedication of this corridor for railway purposes since 1884. Recommendations Recommended that the railway corridor between the Bradford Creek crossing and the Blossom Hill road be included in the Schedule to the Heritage Overlay Table in the Shire of Loddon Planning Scheme with control over the removal of trees in the corridor associated with the proposed railway route.
