This survey was undertaken as a seven week project commissioned by the Heritage Branch, Ministry for Planning and Environment. The parameters of the brief were to locate buildings or sites of architectural or historical significance in the Berwick-Pakenham Corridor. The resultant report is to be used in the strategic planning for the Corridor. Insofar as the project was limited in time and funds, and the major use of the. final document was to be a heritage analysis of the suitability 6f land for future development, the compiling of this report was organised around specific priorities. It was decided not to conduct an exhaustive conservation study, in which every building in the area would be analysed for architectural or historical significance and classified on the basis of.a thorough search of all available primary and secondary source material, as this approach would inevitably run short of time, and thus in all likelihood overlook some important areas, buildings and places. Instead an attempt was made at'a general survey, which would locate all previously identified or obviously significant buildings (and hopefully a large proportion of the more obscure examples) and gather such information as was most readily available on the major buildingu.

·AS a result, most of the information gathered has come from secondary sources such as local histories and interviews with owners, occupiers and other interested parties, rather than the more time consuming study of primary material such as rate books, notices of intention and the like. This remains an . option for those buildings which may come under consideration for statutory protection. The study has also concentrated on a number of specific priority zones established by the Ministry, and on the smaller towns and rural areas outside the well established urbs of Berwick, Cranbourne, Doveton and Pakenham. Some buildings of importance have been identified in the built up areas of Berwick, Cranbourne, Doveton and , I Pakenham though the list is by no means comprehensive as these I highly developed areas will remain largely unaffected by the corridor planning exercise. 2 DISCUSSION OF SURVEY AND FINDINGS

2.1 The Corridor

The Corridor comprises an irregular area roughly 44 kilometres in length and varying in width from about 14 kilometres at the west end to 3 kilometres at the east. Its spine is the Princes Highway, along which it extends for the full 44 kilometres from west to east. 2.2 Priority Zones (Refer Illustration 1) Of the total area, 9 small zones around the Berwick and Beaconsfield townships have been targeted by the Ministry for II immediate residential zoning (illustration 1). These were I I , surveyed in detail, and generally found to contain little of note. By way of exception, however, Zone 8 is adjacent to Melville Park (the Edrington estate), Zone 4 is adjacent to the Springfield cheese factory and home·stead complex and The Springs homestead and outbuildings (but appears to include no buildings from either), and Zone 9 includes Clover Cottage and the Minard and Meadowbrooks homesteads.

Edrington is already adequately protected by its inclusion on the Register of the Historic Buildings and the easements established around the building in plans for the development of Melville Park as a retirement home (plans which have already received a permit from the H B C). II The east boundarY of Zone 4 needs to be carefully established in relation to the Springfield complex, as it seems to run very close to these important buildings, and may even include them. Protection of the buildings should be· facilitated by their position on Crown Land, at present administered by the Berwick City Council. The southern boundary runs along Greaves Road, and is thus adjacent to The Springs property, which extends south of this road. However, the homestead and outbuildings are set a considerable way back from the road, and thus should not be immediately affected.

Zone 9 includes the Clover Cottage, Minard and Meadowbrooks properties, all of which may be threatened by demolition when the land is rezoned. Clover Cottage has been examined by the National Trust but is considered not to be of National or State significance. However, it is considered that the building may make an architectural and historic contribution at the local level. Further research is necessary. Minard and Meadowbrooks are of less apparent interest, but also need to be assessed in terms of age and intactness. Meadowbrooks provides an example of an unusual construction type, while Minard dates in part from the nineteenth century.

Zones 1, 2, 3, 5, 6 and 7 may be considered free of bu~ldings of significance. J3ERWICK- PAKENHAM CORRIDOR·

Illustration 1: priority zones within the Corridor 2.3 Data Collected and Building Classification

Approximately 120 buildings and sites of significance have been identified within the planning corridor (see Section 4). A further 60 buildings and sites (approx.), located outside the corridor~ have also been identified (see Section 5). Of the total number of buildings and sites, only a small proportion were previously known to the Heritage Branch. Files have now been established for many of the more significant buildings. These files have each been allocated a status of either Ber/Pak A, Ber/Pak B or Ber/Pak C within the HBC computer system.

The A buildings are of national or state significance, and are included on or should be recommended for inclusion on the Register of Historic Buildings and the Register of the National Estate.

The B buildings are of regional or local significance, are relatively intact and of considerable architectural merit and/or. historical importance. These may be included upon or should be recommended for the Register of the National Estate.

The C buildings make an architectural or historic contribution that is important within the local area. This includes well preserved examples of particular styles of construction, as well as individually significant buildings that have been altered or defaced.

This last category, though by far the largest, should also be considered the least complete, until such a time as comprehensive heritage studies of the several municipal~ties of the Corridor have been undertaken.

All A, Band C buildings should be considered for statutory protection by means of an amendment to the various municipal planning schemes.

Of the approximately 120 buildings and sites within the corridor, 103 have been graded as follows:

Ber/Pak A 5 Ber/Pak B 19 Ber/Pak C 79

This inventory is supplemented by another three lists. The first notes significant buildings falling just outside the corridor. Some of these sites have also been graded. The second list records buildings identified in secondary sources, but found to have been demolished. The third list is a record of significant buildings both inside and outside the corridor according to their level of categorisation. 2.4 Buildings listed without annotation

A number of buildings in the lists have not been annotated in any way. The majority of such buildings are listed as falling immediately outside the confines of the Corridor. These buildings were not inspected either because of their position outside the Corridor or because .their possible significance was brought to the attention of the survey after field work had been completed. No information on their present condition or status has been obtained, and this should be made a priority of subsequent municipal heritage studies.

2.5 Further Notes

Two major factors should be taken into account when reviewing these lists and statistics. The first is the rapid development of the corridor area since the late 1960s, particularly in Berwick, Cranbourne and Pakenham, which has seen the destruction or radical alteration of a high proportion of the few town buildings surviving from the pioneering era in these towns..

The second is the frequency and ferocity with which bushfires have swept through the area, destroying many isolated homesteads as well as large sections of some of the smaller towns such as Bunyip or Garfield. These factors have resulted in a poverty of significant building stock in the Corridor, a poverty especially noticeable around the Cranbourne township, which has lost almost all major commercial, residential or public buildings from pre 1950. It is also noticeable in th~ Bunyip and Garfield townships, which have assumed their present building stock largely as the result of reconstruction following disastrous fires in 1905/6 and the 1920s - building stock in this area from the nineteenth century is virtually non existent.

A major impediment to the exercise was the actual location and identification of many buildings referred to in the secondary sources or by local historians. None of the three municipal councils had detailed lists and maps of the heritage sites in their regions; although Cranbourne did have a basic list of buildings and sites, this was vague in the extreme and quite out of date (1974), with few of the sites or buildings identified by more than a name, a township and, occasionally only, a road or street name. (In addition to this, most fell well outside the Corridor.) This is quite inadequate when searching a rural district, where one is forced to scan the countryside at the same time as maintaining the control and direction of a motor vehicle travelling, under pressure from other traffic, at 100 kilometres per hour. 3 RECOMMENDATIONS I, 3.1 Matters for Action by the Ministry for Planning

* The Heritage Branch should discuss the contents of this report with the three municipal councils drawing attention to the study findings and recommendations and, in particular, the matters listed in Section 3.2 below. * The information contained in this report should be used by the Ministry for the purposes of strategic planning and decision making within the corridor. As an example, the contents of this report could be used to ensure that works and infrastructure avoid 'interference with the places listed. * All places graded A in the report should be examined and assessed for the Register of Historic Buildings and/or Register of Government Buildings. * All places graded A and B in the report should be nominated for the Register of the National Estate. '" .il) 3.2 Matters for Action by Local Government * The Councils of Berwick, Cranbourne and Pakenham should .. :"._ t1i .... .; ,~, commission comprehensive heritage studies for their munrcipalities. Such studies should add to the information held on the properties listed in this report. In addition, a heritage study should identify and assess other places which may have, escaped the attention of this exercise (for example, in the built-up areas of Berwick, Cranbourne and Pakenham> and, more particularly, those places of significance located outside the growth corridor. In each case, the study should be undertaken along the lines of the Heritage Branch's standard brief. * The Building and Planning Departments of the three municipalities should monitor applications for demolition or significant development of the places listed in this report. Where possible, efforts should be made to discourage demolition, major alterations or inappropriate development of the listed properties. A spate of demolition or building activity might prompt the municipalities to seek interim planning controls for the listed buildings. * The municipalities of Berwick, Cranbourne and Pakenham should introduce planning scheme amendments to protect the places identified in this report. Ideally this should occur following completion of a heritage study for each local government area.- However, should circumstances dictate (eg. a spate of demolition and building activity), the need for a planning scheme amendment may need to be brought forward. In any event, additional documentation on many of the listed properties will be required to firmly establish their cultural significance and justify their inclusion in a planning scheme amendment. * The information contained in this report should be used by the Council for the purposes of strategic planning and decision making. Where possible, Councils should ensure that their actions do not prejudice the conservation of the places listed in this report.

3.3 ~storic Precincts

Areas such as Main Road, Bunyip and Main Street and Railway Avenue Garfield are considered to have potential for designation as conservation areas. This should be further investigated as part of a heritage study of the municipalities.

This report identifies a number of individual buildings of importance within these historic areas and the authorities should endeavour to ensure that these buildings are conserved and that their streets cape context is maintained and 'enhanced. 3.4 Doveton's Industrial Strip

The establishment of the factories of General Motors Holden, H J Heinz and International Harvester along the Princes Highway in the 1950s has been one of the most vital factors in the development of the west end of the Corridor. It has had a huge impact on the lives of many of the people in the area, most of whom have worked, or know people who have worked, at these factories. In attracting migrant workers to the area they have played an impor~ant role in the expansion of the population of the area and the creation of its multicultural identity. They therefore make up a vital part of the built heritage of the region, and need to be carefully assessed in this light.

Individual studies of each of these industrial sites should be carried out to establish the relative significance of particular buildings as well as the complexes as entiritiesi these studies should then be supplemented by conservation recommendations and included within a heritage study of , the City of Berwick and the parameters of this city's Planning Scheme.

3.5 Timber Tramway Remains

It has not been possible to locate any of the remains of the several timber tramway systems which operated in the area in the nineteenth century, though various people have testified to the continued existence of remnants 'somewhere out there'. The Shires of Cranbourne and Pakenham each may contain remnants of these systems, and should initiate attempts to lOcate them as part ot the preparation of municipal heritage studies. A well illustrated account of the tramways appears in '''Tall Timbers and Tramlines", published by the Light Railway Research Society. None are known or thought to exist in any of the zones being considered for immediate development. 3.6 Buildings Outside the Corridor

In view of the probability of the boundaries of the Corridor being changed or extended, it is important that note be taken of the significant buildings on the periphery of the Corrido~, and that these too should be assessed and registered with the relevant heritage bodies or within municipal planning schemes. Such information as has already been collected on these buildings is given in an appendix to this report. 4 LIST OF SIGNIFICANT BUILDINGS WITHIN THE CORRIDOR BY LOCATION

EDRINGTON WAS BUILT IN 1906-07 FOR THE WEST AUSTRALIAN PASTORALIST SAMUEL P MCKAY. IT WAS DESIGNED BY RODNEY ALSOP IN 1906. IT IS A TWO STOREY RED BRICK EXAMPLE OF THE ENGLISH VERNACULAR STYLE WITH SOME REFERENCE TO THE QUEEN ANNE STYLE. AMONGST HIS SUBSEQUENT ACHIEVEMENTS WERE THE T & G BUILDINGS IN MELBOURNE AND ELSEWHERE IN AND N.Z. AND THE HACKETT MEMORIAL BUILDING OF THE UNIVERSITY OF PERTH.

PREVIOUSLY THE PROPERTY WAS KNOWN AS MELVILLE PARK. IT HAD BEEN OWNED BY CAPTAIN JOHN GARDINER. HE SOLD IT TO JAMES GIBB WHO PLANTED MANY OF THE SURVIVING TREES. THE PROPERTY AT THAT TIME WAS USED AS A STUD AND FOR CROPPING. GIBB WAS THE LOCAL MEMBER IN THE NEW FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. THE STABLES, BARN, SHEARING SHED AND BRICK COTTAGE SURVIVE FROM THIS PERIOD.

ANDREW CHIRNSIDE PURCHASED THE PROPERTY IN 1910 AND RENAMED IT EDRINGTON AFTER A FAMILY PROPERTY IN SCOTLAND WHEN IT COMPRISED OVER 1000 ACRES. THE PROPERTY PASSED ON TO THEIR NIECE AND NEPHEW, MAlE CASEY AND RUPERT RYAN IN 1934. RYAN WAS THE MEMBER FOR FLINDERS BETWEEN 1940 AND 1952 WHEN HE DIED. ON HIS DEATH HIS INTEREST IN EDRINGTON PASSED TO MR DONN CASEY. THROUGH A SUBSEQUENT SUBDIVISION EDRINGTON BECAME THE SOLE PROPERTY OF THE LADY CASEY.

BOTH LORD AND LADY CASEY WERE DISTINGUISHED AUSTRALIANS. RICHARD GARDINER CASEY (1890-1976) SERVED IN THE AIF AND THEN WORKED AS A MINING ENGINEER. HE WAS THE AUSTRALIAN LIAISON OFFICER IN LONDON FROM 1924. IN 1931 HE WAS ELECTED MHR FOR CORIO BECOMING FEDERAL TREASURER IN 1935 AND LATER MINISTER FOR SUPPLY DURING WORLD WAR II. HIS APPOINTMENT AS MINISTER PLENPOTENTIARY IN WASHINGTON IN 1940 INITIATED AUSTRALIA'S FORMAL DIPLOMATIC REPRESENTATION OVERSEAS. HE WAS A MEMBER OF THE BRITISH WAR CABINET. IN 1944 CASEY BECAME GOVERNOR OF I I I BENGAL. HE RE-ENTERED FEDERAL PARLIAMENT AS MHR FOR LATROBE IN 1949 AND WAS MINISTER FOR EXTERNAL AFFAIRS'FROM 1951-1960. HE WAS APPOINTED GOVERNOR-GENERAL OF AUSTRALIA IN 1965 AFTER RECEIVING THE FIRST LIF~ pf;J;;MGf; OUTSIDE THE UK. I

ETHEL MARIAN SUMNER (MAlE) CASEY WAS DESCENDED FROM EARLY VICTORIAN I PASTORAL PIONEERS. HE WAS NOTABLE IN HER OWN RIGHT AS AN ARTIST, I I HISTORIC BUILDINGS COUNCIL Date : 26/06/89 Page No. 3 AUTHOR AND AVIATRIX. HER BOOK, WRITTEN WITH FIVE OTHERS, EARLY MELBOURNE ARCHITECTURE WAS SEMINAL IN THE FOUNDING OF THE NATIONAL TRUST AND THE CONSERVATION MOVEMENT IN GENERAL. THE LADY CASEY, WITH HER HUSBAND, WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR ALTERATIONS TO THE HOUSE AND OUT­ BUILDINGS DURING THEIR OCCUPATION WHICH REFLECTED THEIR INTERESTS AND LIFESTYLE.

THE SPRINGFIELD HOMESTEAD AND OUTBUILDING WERE ERECTED C18SS-1860, WITH THE CHEESE FACTORY BEING CONSTRUCTED C 187S. ALL ARE SIGNIFICANT IN TERMS OF THEIR DEGREE OF INTACTNESS AND IN THEIR COMPLEMENTARY ROLES AS PARTS OF AN EARLY DAIRY FARM COMPLEX. THE CHEESE FACTORY APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN THE MOST ELABORATE OF A NUMBER OF SUCH FACTORIES IN THE BERWICK AREA IN THE LATE NINETEENTH CENTURY, BUT IS NOW THE ONLY SURVIVING EXAMPLE. IT IS THEREFORE SIGNIFICANT IN THE CONTEXT OF THE HISTORY OF DAIRY FARMING IN THE REGION, AND IS AN IMPORTANT ILLUSTRATION OF A PHASE OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE CHEESE INDUSTRY IN VICTORIA.

THE COMPLEX IS ALSO SIGNIFICANT THROUGH ITS ASSOCIATION WITH SIR JOHN WILLIAM CLARKE, ONE OF VICTORIA'S LEADING NINETEENTH CENTURY PUBLIC FIGURE, AND AN IMPORTANT LANDHOLDER WITH EXTENSIVE ESTATES

ACROSS THE. COLONY. IT IS A SIGNIFICANT EXAMPLE OF CLARKE'S ENCOURAGEMENT OF SCIENTIFIC FARMING, AND OF HIS UPGRADING OF PROPERTIES INTO MODEL TENANT FARMS COMPLETE WITH THE LATEST TECHNOLOGY AND EQUIPMENT. HISTORIC BUILDINGS COUNCIL Date : 26/06/89 Page No 7

BERWICK/PAKENHAM STUDY - CITATION:

BERWICK POST OFFICE AND COURT HOUSE IS SIGNIFICANT AS A COMBINED PUBLIC OFFICE OF THE 1880'S, CHARACTERISTIC OF TRADITIONAL PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT DESIGNS. BY ADOPTING A SYMMETRICAL FACADE, THE DESIGN SKILFULLY UNITES THE TWO FUNCTIONS WHILST ARTICULATING SECONDARY FUNCTIONS TO THE REAR TIMBER SECTION. THE REFINED USE OF POLYCHROME BRICKWORK IS ESPECIALLY HIGHLIGHTED IN THE LOMBARDIC ARCHED LOGGIAS AND FENESTRATION. THE LOGGIAS ARE ENHANCED BY CAST IRON COLUMNS WITH DECORATIVE CAPITALS ON TOOLED BLUESTONE BASES.

THE HIGH LEVEL OF EXTERNAL INTACTNESS OF THE WHOLE BUILDING IS SIGNIFICANT. THE EXTERNAL INTACTNESS OF THE COURT HOUSE WITH ITS ORIGINAL JOINERY, rURNITURE AND HARDWARE IS ESPECIALLY SIGNIFICANT. THE SURVIVAL OF THE ORIGINAL TOILET/SHED AT THE REAR OF THE SITE, THE POSTMASTER'S RESIDENCE, REMNANTS OF A DOMESTIC GARDEN AND HEDGED

PICKET FENCE ARE AN INTERESTING· ADJUNCT.

THE BUILDING IS ONE OF VERY FEW NINETEENTH CENTURY BUILDINGS' REMAINING IN BERWICK. IT FORMS PART OF AN IMPORTANT NINETEENTH CENTURY INSTITUTIONAL PRECINCT WITH THE ~DJACENT MASONIC HALL AND FORMER CHRISTIANS' MEETING HOUSE.

THE HOUSE REf-lAINED WITH THIS DISTINGUISHED FAMILY UNTIL C 1945, A LARGE SERVANTS' WING AND BALLROOM AT THE REAR OF THE HOUSE BEING ADDED IN THIS PERIOD AND AN EXTENSIVE EXOTIC GARDEN DEVELOPED AROUND IT PRESUMABLY PRIOR TO 1900. THE TOWERED ITALIANATE STUCCOED AND VERANDAHED FORM OF THE MAIN WING CONTRASTS WITH THE FACE BRICKWORK OF THE FORMER SERVANTS' WING AND THE GABLED STABLE BLOCK AT THE REAR.

THE PROPERTY IS AN EXTENSIVE AND NEARLY COMPLETE COMPLEX WHICH IS UNUSUAL FOR ITS LOCALITY AND REGION IN ITS EARLY ADAPTATION OF WHAT BECAME AN URBAN 15TH CENTURY ARCHITECTURAL FORM IN A RURAL SETTING. IT IS PROMINENTLY SITED AT THE TOP OF A HILL AND ENHANCED BY ITS

STILL IMPRESSIVE GARDEN SETTING. HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE IS ATTACHED TO ITS LONG OCCUPATION BY THE ARMYTAGE FAMILY.
