Statement of Significance
Aesthetically, the Times Office, and the residence behind it, significantly contribute to the aesthetic and historic character of Ridgway and Mirboo North. In particular, the property represents both the residential and the commercial stages of the Ridgway precinct and Mirboo North. (Criterion E)
In 1907, when the Times Office first opened, newspapers were a vital part of the communications network of the South Gippsland region, as the population were so spread out and travelling within the region was difficult. The Mirboo Times continues to be one of the four main newspapers within the Shire, with high circulation across the region. The Times Office is a physical representation of the longevity of the newspaper and this of communication within South Gippsland. (Criterion G)
