Statement of Significance

The former Euroa Court House, constructed in 1892, was designed by JT Kelleher and shows the clear influence of AJ Macdonald, both of the Public Works Department. The building is an outstanding and essentially intact example of a small number of buildings designed at a time when the Public Works Department was experimenting with new styles while exploring the idea of a uniquely Australian architecture. The former Euroa Court House is one of a group of buildings responding to the American Romanesque of the late nineteenth century. Other related buildings from this period are Euroa and South Yarra Post Offices; Flemington and Omeo Court Houses.

The former Euroa Court House is essentially intact and retains a substantial part of its purpose built furniture including witness box, prisoner's dock, clerk of court's bench and judicial bench.

    • Permit Exemptions

      EUROA COURT HOUSE - 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.
