Statement of Significance
Individual place statement of significance::
The site and ruins of David Milburn's Grange Farm and homestead is of regional historical significance for its association with the important early horticulturalist and developer of irrigation, David Milburn. The remains of the house and farm buildings are an important archaeological feature with the potential to reveal information about the history of the transformation of the floodplain landscape at Keilor into intensively-cultivated market gardens and orchards.
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.
