Statement of Significance
What is significant?
The former Mardan South State School No. 3166, designed by J.B. Cohen of the Public Works Department and constructed by R. Hamilton in 1906, and associated outbuildings at 1165 Mardan Road, Mardan South.
Why is it significant?
The former Mardan South State School No. 3166 is of local historic, aesthetic and social significance to the district of Mardan South.
Historically, as the oldest public building in the Mardan district and of one of the oldest school buildings within the Shire, it demonstrates both the early development of the Mardan district as well as educational facilities in the Shire. (AHC criteria - A.4 and D.2)
Aesthetically, it is locally rare and substantially intact example of an early one room school constructed to a unique design that retains some complementary outbuildings. (AHC criterion - E.1)
Socially, it is one of the public buildings including the Presbyterian Church and the Public Hall that played an important part in the development of the Mardan South community, and is an integral part of the identity of the local area. (AHC criterion - G.1)
