How is it significant?
Hill Farm, located at 81 Browns Lane, Parwan, is of local historical significance to the Moorabool Shire.
Why is it significant?
Hill Farm, located at 81 Browns Lane, Parwan is of historical significance as it demonstrates the pattern of settlement and establishment of small farms within the area, and more broadly across the municipality as a result of the 1862 Land Acts, which allowed selectors to achieve security of tenure. It is associated with the early establishment of the Parwan agricultural district and recognised as one of the oldest farming complexes within Parwan. (Criterion A) Hill Farm is considered a rare surviving example of an 1860s farming complex with later nineteenth century developments, including the brick house (c.1863), brick outbuilding and well (c.1860s), weatherboard outbuildings and wells (c.1880-1900). There are only a small number of farming complexes from the nineteenth century which survive in the former Parwan Agricultural district, and the retained complex of buildings is particularly unusual in the locality.
