Statement of Significance

The Red Brick Barn at Muntham Station is located on one of the oldest established pastoral properties in Victoria. Edward Henty was the first permanent settler in Victoria and Muntham was considered to be the leading stud property in the state in the 1850s. The Red Brick Barn is an unusual structure of a type rarely used in Victoria and one which is modelled on English farmhouse traditions of the early nineteenth century.

The pastoral run Muntham was established by Victoria's first permanent settlers, the Henty brothers, in 1837, at the junction of the Glenelg and Wannon Rivers. Edward Henty developed this property into the principal Western District horse and cattle stud of the 1850s. The one and a half storey barn, constructed of hand made red bricks on stone foundations at an unknown date, possibly the late 1840s, served as a store house on the station.

    • Permit Exemptions

      RED BRICK BARN - Permit Exemptions

      General Exemptions:

      General exemptions apply to all places and objects included in the Victorian Heritage Register (VHR). General exemptions have been designed to allow everyday activities, maintenance and changes to your property, which don’t harm its cultural heritage significance, to proceed without the need to obtain approvals under the Heritage Act 2017.

      Places of worship: In some circumstances, you can alter a place of worship to accommodate religious practices without a permit, but you must notify the Executive Director of Heritage Victoria before you start the works or activities at least 20 business days before the works or activities are to commence.

      Subdivision/consolidation: Permit exemptions exist for some subdivisions and consolidations. If the subdivision or consolidation is in accordance with a planning permit granted under Part 4 of the Planning and Environment Act 1987 and the application for the planning permit was referred to the Executive Director of Heritage Victoria as a determining referral authority, a permit is not required.

      Specific exemptions may also apply to your registered place or object. If applicable, these are listed below. Specific exemptions are tailored to the conservation and management needs of an individual registered place or object and set out works and activities that are exempt from the requirements of a permit. Specific exemptions prevail if they conflict with general exemptions.
