Statement of Significance

Terang is significant in several respects: the extent and richness of its early twentieth century commercial architecture in comparison to other county towns; its pictureque setting and exotic tree plantings; and the buildings, avenues and monuments which are a legacy of its strong community ideal. Terang's townscape comprises an unusual, attractive and harmonious juxtapostion of two important and conflicting ideals in Australian history: the patronage of the villagers and yeomanry who also flourish in this unusally fertile location. The precincts which are most central to this character are the High Street town centre, the major avenues, Bradshaw Hill and the dry Lake Terang, and also the Railway Station precinct.
