Statement of Significance

Bunyip Newsagency is significant to Cardinia Shire as a c1926 shop associated with Bunyip's commercial centre which provided services to the surrounding farming district. The Flett Brothers were notable district residents who ran a store in what is now known as the Bunyip Newsagency and rebuilt it in the 1930s. The Bunyip Red Cross also occupied part of the building in the 1960s and remained there until it was relocated in 1990.

  Like 19 and 20-22, this is a parapeted shop with cantilever awning, recessed entries and tiled shopfronts which resemble 18 and 20-22 Main St. The cemented parapet with its high Dutch gabled form again appears to from the Edwardian-era or 1920s and resembles 19 closely. The shopfronts are typical of the 1930s.
