| STATE SIGNIFICANCE - A LISTED What is Significant? The Geelong Sale Yards, Weddell Road, North Geelong has significance as the most intact functioning 19th century municipal stock yards known in Victoria. The second municipal Sale Yards to be built in Geelong, these Sale Yards were established in 1869 by the Town of Geelong to a layout and design by the Town Surveyor, Robert Balding. The need for larger and up-to-date stock yards reflects the importance of the local agricultural industry to the Geelong economy in the 19th century. The rectangular layout of the cattle and sheep yards, construction of the vernacular timber post and rail pen fences and gates, and the concept of elevated narrow covered walkways, was influenced by the layout and design of the Newmarket yards in Kensington and the Ballarat yards. Surviving early fabric of the Geelong Sale Yards includes the layout of cattle and sheep yards divided by a central thoroughfare, timber post and rail cattle and sheep pen fencing and gates, elevated and narrow covered cattle yard walkways, bluestone pen paving, stands of mature Ash trees shading the western sheep pens, former Caretaker's Cottage and the bluestone spoon drains. The Market Office building represents the second structure of its type on the site, having replaced the earlier structure as a "temporary" building in 1913. The vernacular Edwardian building appears to have been designed by the City Surveyor, H.L. Tisdall and has served the Sale Yards as stock and station agent offices, refreshment rooms, kitchen and lunch room to the present day. The interior of the building is substantially intact, including v-jointed timber ceiling and wall linings. In the stock and station agents' offices are original built-in timber sale benches with in-trays, wall-mounted timber shelving (for paperwork), timber bench seats and the timber writing desks. Also contributing to an appreciation of the early 20th century evolution and development of the yards is the former Latrine's Shed, built in c.1913. How is it Significant?
