Condition

The 1844 bridge pylon remains at Oakover are in poor condition and have deteriorated in the last decade. However, the bridge’s mound and the other archaeological sites are presently not under threat, and their good condition will not alter if land uses remain unchanged. Oakover’s non-invasive past activities proposes that much undisturbed archaeological material is still present. There are no programmes planned to test the area’s archaeological potential. Overall, Oakover is in good condition. As the property is still a working farm, the priority for maintenance of the farm improvements is shared with other necessities and responsibilities. The present owners are aware of the heritage values of the homestead and are sincerely trying to keep abreast of the effects of wear and tear to ensure the condition of the buildings and landscape is at least stabilised.
