Statement of Significance

Kout Norien on the Glenelg River near Harrow was originally taken up in 1840 as a 400,000 acre pastoral run. Following extensive sub- division by Edward Willis and Charles l Swanston between 1846 and 52 RB Broughton acquired the surviving 'Kout Narin' run and erected the present colonial style rectangular plan homestead of brick and stone after 1855, integrating the early stone house of c1848. This was one of the largest of the early pastoral holdings in the colony at Port Phillip and has notable associations, in particular with Captain Charles Swanston a colonial banker/merchant, and his son-in-law, Edward Willis, and later, with Richard Broughton.

The early colonial homestead with distinctive roof form, glazed verandah and colonial regency details dates from early times, and with associated outbuildings, slab hut and slab woolshed, forms an important pastoral station group. This homestead has been sensitively adapted. The slab hut is in a deteriorating condition and the important timber slab woolshed, although dilapidated is still in use.

      Permit Exemptions

      KOUT NORIEN ESTATE - Permit Exemptions

      General Exemptions:

      General exemptions apply to all places and objects included in the Victorian Heritage Register (VHR). General exemptions have been designed to allow everyday activities, maintenance and changes to your property, which don’t harm its cultural heritage significance, to proceed without the need to obtain approvals under the Heritage Act 2017.

      Places of worship: In some circumstances, you can alter a place of worship to accommodate religious practices without a permit, but you must notify the Executive Director of Heritage Victoria before you start the works or activities at least 20 business days before the works or activities are to commence.

      Subdivision/consolidation: Permit exemptions exist for some subdivisions and consolidations. If the subdivision or consolidation is in accordance with a planning permit granted under Part 4 of the Planning and Environment Act 1987 and the application for the planning permit was referred to the Executive Director of Heritage Victoria as a determining referral authority, a permit is not required.

      Specific exemptions may also apply to your registered place or object. If applicable, these are listed below. Specific exemptions are tailored to the conservation and management needs of an individual registered place or object and set out works and activities that are exempt from the requirements of a permit. Specific exemptions prevail if they conflict with general exemptions.
