Statement of Significance
'Wingilla', comprising the house constructed c.1935 and the associated mature garden including the Canary Island Palms, at 1 Bluff Road, Cannon's Creek.
'Wingilla' is of local historic, aesthetic and scientific (archaeological) significance to the City of Casey.
Historically, it is significant for its associations with some of the district's old families, such as the Bretts, as well as representing an early use of a prime coastal site as a refuge from Melbourne life. (AHC criteria A4, D2 and H1)
Aesthetically, it is significant as a well preserved example of domestic architectural and garden styles of the 1920s-30s. The setting of the house is enhanced by the mature trees, particularly the Canary Island Palms. (AHC criteria E1)
Scientifically, it is of archaeological significance as a site that possesses a rich history of the settlement of this locality, with possible artefacts surviving from the nineteenth century. (AHC criterion C2)

Wingilla - Physical Description 1
This is a two-storey house with stained vertical boarding, distinctive tapered chimney, mature front garden, with a bird bath, Canary Island date palms, and other plants typical of the 1920s-30s. The house is altered in detail, has two frontages, and is in a prominent setting at the inlet bend.
This setting suggests its early place in the history of the locality and some evidence of the original nineteenth century development may still exist. (Further investigation is required)Wingilla - Physical Conditions
