Statement of Significance
Probably planted in the 1890s, the former Iona State School SS3201 elms are significant to the Cardinia Shire because of their age and maturity and as signposts to the former school site and in turn to the community which developed around it. As indicators of the school site the elms also are both an expression of the landscaping aspirations of this nineteenth-century farming locality and reminders of the many local people involved with this community centre over time.
