Statement of Significance
Whitburgh Cottage was erected in 1853-57 for William Smeaton, a local coachbuilder and blacksmith.
The house remained in Smeaton family ownership for 113 years. The cottage is one of the oldest surviving buildings in Kilmore, an important early inland town in Victoria. The cottage epitomizes early cottage design with a simple double fronted composition, hipped roof and constructed of local materials, in thick case bluestone. The property is now owned by the Kilmore Shire Council and is now run as a museum. It is located in Piper Street and is an important part of an historic precinct.

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

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.
