Some/Moderate Significance DESCRIPTION • Contributes to the heritage of the locality. • Has some altered or modified elements, not necessarily detracting from the overall significance of the place. • Does not fulfil the criteria for entry in the TPS Heritage List. DESIRED OUTCOME • Conservation of the place is highly desirable. • Any alterations or extensions should reinforce the significance of the place, and original fabric should be retained wherever feasible.

Statement of Significance

• The place has aesthetic value as an unusual example of the post war architectural style.
• The place has historic value as a demonstration of the growth in truck and car travel in contrast to train travel in the post war period.

Physical Description

A timber framed building of fibro panelling, weatherboard and metal construction with a canopy projecting out above the office entrance demonstrating the local style of garage canopy. The canopy is flat roofed, sloping down towards the building with the higher front section supported on slender columns arranged in a 'V'. Adjoining the office is the mechanics area accessed by full height corrugated metal doors. There is an addition to the rear of the same design as the main building.

History

This shed is one of three similar former service stations that were built by local resident Jim Woodley in the 1950s. The design of the former service stations is representative of that period and the consistency of styling has not been significantly compromised by later additions.
