Statement of Significance
The significance of the Shaw Street, Mortlake, precinct derives from its group of nineteeth century bluestone buildings which were erected predominantly for civic or commerical use. They reflect an important phase of Mortlake's urban development in the two decades of the 1860's and 1870's. This was a period when the region's rural economy was consolidating and stablising after the expansion of the squatting and gold eras. Also of significance is the fact that the integrity of the precint reflects the availablity of public land as a result of a layut found in only three towns in Victoria and representative of a town plan widely used in South Australia, with its separation of town centre and suburbs by an area of public parklands.
