Statement of Significance
The residence known as The Towers was built about 1850. For some time in its earliest years the building was the New Market Hotel. Later it was the home of Thomas Hunt, a prominent citizen of Kilmore. The building is a rare example of pre-gold rush architecture. Its form reflects early New South Wales and Tasmanian models. The conventional pavilions which terminate the front verandah have been enhanced with single storey towers. These may have been added when the house became a hotel about 1853. The building is in very poor condition structurally but is substantially intact. Some original internal decorative treatments have survived.

THE TOWERS - 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. Find out more about heritage permit exemptions here.
