Statement of Significance

What is significant?

Ruedin's Eucalyptus Distillery, despite a decade or so of abandonment, still retains a relatively complete range of components including a corrugated iron boiler shed, distilling plant and harvesting plant. The various fixed and portable artefacts document some sixty years of the use of the place by the Ruedin family for the production of eucalyptus oil.

How is it significant?

The Ruedin's Eucalyptus Distillery is of historical, scientific and archaeological importance to the State of Victoria.

The Ruedin's Eucalyptus Distillery is historically significant due to its association with the production of eucalyptus oil, arguably Australia's first truly unique pharmaceutical product and distinctive export.

Ruedin's Eucalyptus Distillery is historically and scientifically significant because of the strong sense of changing circumstances and abandonment reflected by the place, testimony to a way of life carried out in the Whipstick for a century or more, but which is now on the point of extinction. Ruedin's Eucalyptus Distillery has a significantly well preserved assemblage of abandoned distilling plant complimenting the six distilleries still operating (or able to do so) in Victoria. The distillery has the ability through archaeological investigation to contribute to a greater understanding of the operation a distillery site.

      General exemptions apply to all places and objects included in the Victorian Heritage Register (VHR).

      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 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.
