No specific regulations would be imposed, except in the case where the site is within the bounds of a precinct, in which case the precinct category would take precedence.

Statement of Significance

The site represents a way of life no longer practised. It demonstrates an association with the early settlers.

History

Gillimanning was one of the earliest communities, preceding Wickepin by about 10 years. At the time that Gillimanning was a thriving settlement, it seemed a logical choice for the railway to pass through from Cuballing to Wickepin. However it seems the New Jerusalem settlement had some influence in the decision for the railway to go through Wickepin. Gillimanning settlement did not develop any further after the Railway line by passed the district.
