Statement of Significance
The Beaurepaire Tyre Service at Bendigo is of State significance. Designed in 1958 by prominent architects, Eggleston Macdonald and Secomb, the Beaurepaire Tyre Service is a distinctive and eye-catching example of post-war Modern architecture. As a "round house" service station, Beaurepaire West Bendigo is unique in Victoria, possibly Australia. Inspired by a design seen by Ian Beaurepaire on a tour through North America, the service station reflected the growing influence of the United States in post-war, architectural design. The Beaurepaire Tyre Service at Bendigo combines architecture and advertising. The building, round like a tyre, declares its function to passers-by. Minor alterations have not altered its significance. Historically, the service station is significant for its association with the Beurepaire Tyre Service Pty. Ltd., a large and successful retailer, and later, manufacturer of automobile tyres.
