Statement of Significance
What is significant?
The site is first mapped as Allotment 9 of Section 5 on the 1852 Municipality of Ballarat Plan with the occupied being purchased by J. Dewes. The 1861 Gold Fields Plan shows one structures across the site. The site contained the Tattersalls Hotel hotel (est. 1857) and livery and stables premises to the north. The site was redeveloped c. 1932. There is a -1m to 1m elevation change between 1858 and 2019. Excavations within the roadway have revealed a timber bridge structure at 0.75m in depth. The site currently contains late twentieth century structures.
How is it significant?
The site is of historical significance as the location of the Public Office for Vaccinations during the years of the Victorian gold rush. The later nineteenth century shows the development of a hotel and commercial premises and likely expansion of the commercial and residential use of the site in the later nineteenth century. The site is of archaeological significance due to its potential to contain artefacts, deposits and features that relate to the occupation of the public office, nineteenth century commercial operations and the hotel, later 19th-century activities, and the expansion of Ballarat West.
