Individual place statement of significance::
John Milburn's farm and homestead is of regional historical significance as a substantially surviving example of the nineteenth century horticultural property which contributed to the transformation of the floodplain landscape at Keilor into intensively-cultivated market gardens and orchards. The property is also of historical and social significance for its association with the Milburn family, specifically John Milburn, the builder of the house, and a son of David Milburn. David Milburn is credited with the establishment of the first irrigation scheme in Victoria and the Milburn family have been the major market gardening operators in the Keilor district. The homestead also has some architectural merit as a representative example of a substantial late nineteenth century farming property.
Precinct statement of significance::
The market gardens of Keilor are of regional historical significance as they are associated with the beginnings of irrigated horticulture in Victoria and have been continuously cultivated since the mid nineteenth century. The landscape is of regional significance as an expression of the early and long- lived farming practices adapted to the richer soils of the river terraces. The farms themselves also have long links with local families, such as the Milburns and Senserricks, and the pattern of houses and farm buildings reflect the original population distribution. |
