Statement of Significance


The fig is of significance to the City for its rarity within the City of Casey and its perceived relative age to other plantings in the area. The tree is also a likely marker to the pioneer, John Norquay's occupation of the site.
This weatherboard farm house and related mature exotic planting are of local significance as well-preserved house, in pasture setting, from a period of closer settlement in the Cranbourne district and for its relative age, compared to most housing nearby.

      Description
      This is an asymmetrically planned, gabled and hipped roof timber farm house from the Edwardian era, with corbelled red brick chimneys, cast-iron verandah detail and a very large fig (Ficus macrocarpa) to the north. There are also fruit trees in the front of the house. The house is set in undulating pasture near another similarly aged farm complex.
