VOLUME 2: THEMATIC ENVIRONMENTAL HISTORY9 WHY IS DAREBIN SIGNIFICANT?9.1 IntroductionThis chapter contains the Statement of Significance for the City of Darebin, which is basedupon the information contained in this history and seeks to describe the principal reasons forthe significance of the municipality. Cultural significance is defined in the Australia ICOMOSBurra Charter (1999) as:Cultural significance means aesthetic, historic, scientific, social or spiritual value for past, presentor future generations.Cultural significance is embodied in the place itself, its fabric, setting, use, associations,meanings, records, related places and related objects.Places may have a range of values for different individuals or groupsCultural significance may be embodied in the fabric of a place (including its setting andrelationship to other items), the records associated with the place, its current or former use, andin associations and the meanings that the place may have for people to whom it is important.A Statement of Significance is intended to be:... a brief, pithy but comprehensive statement of all the ways in which the place is significant. Itshould not just be a list of every conceivable reason for significance that the assessor can think up,however, it must state clearly and unequivocally the major reasons why the place is important. Itmust be supported by the presentation of sufficient evidence to justify the assessment judgement.(Pearson & Sullivan, 1995)In order to more readily understand the significance of the City of Darebin as a whole, thethematic historical development has been divided into the following key chronological stagesand focuses on the primary period of influence in each stage:• Creating Darebin (pre 1835)• First contact and pastoralists (c.1835-c.1870s)• Boom, bust and recovery (c1870s – c1910s)• Becoming cities – the interwar boom (c.1910s – c1950s).• Becoming a multicultural and environmentally aware city (c.1950s onwards)A final stage deals with Darebin’s natural heritage, which will explored further during a laterstage of this Study.The preceding chapters each include a brief assessment of the cultural and natural heritagevalues associated with specific historic themes in the development of the study area and identifyrepresentative places associated with each. The Statement of Significance in this chapter buildsupon those assessments and should be read in conjunction with them. In assessing thesignificance of each stage, this chapter considers:• What is significant? This identifies and summarises the legacies 17 of each stage, whichillustrate the various themes described in detail in the preceding chapters. The ‘legacies’may be ‘tangible’ (or physical) features (such as buildings, parks & gardens, monuments,railways and associated objects etc.) or ‘intangible’ (such as historic events or associations,community identity or associations, etc.).17 Legacy: We are using the word legacy in this report to mean result, in terms of a consequence or outcome i.e. what is left as a result of theprocesses described in this thematic environmental history141
