4.2 Current Statements of Significance
The two identified heritage items within the subject area have been previously assessed for heritage
significance as part of the listing process. These statements are presented on the State Heritage Inventory
(SHI) listing sheets for these items. It is noted that while these assessments will add to the understanding of
these items9 significance, they may be outdated or lacking in specific information needed to understand
their relationship to the subject area9s significance.
4.2.1
Previous significance assessment for 8Yamba9 (Camden LEP #105: updated 30/10/2002)
Assessment of Significance
No information available on listing sheet.
Integrity/Intactness
The building retains a reasonable level of integrity.
Statement of Significance
A visually prominent and important timber and corrugated iron dwelling with significant plantings, which
maintains an urban juxtaposition to the historically important Camden Valley Way. Its openness of setting
and visual awareness of its wraparound verandah contributes substantially to its significance. Further
investigation as to its historical significance and associations would be desirable.
4.2.2
Previous significance assessment for 8Rheinbergers Hill9 (Camden LEP #104: 30/10/2002)
Assessment of Significance
No information available on listing sheet.
Integrity/Intactness
The house retains good integrity. Further investigation is required to determine the level of intactness.
Statement of Significance
An early weatherboard cottage located on 8Rheinberger's9 (Herbert's) Hill along Camden Valley Way.
4.3 Contributory Significance
In order to understand the contributory nature of the heritage items9 significance to the significance of the
subject area, it is necessary to re-assess the significance of these items. These revised assessments are
presented in Table 5 and Table 6 below:
4.3.1
Revised Significance assessment for 8Yamba9 (Camden LEP #105)
Table 5: Assessment Criteria and Significance Assessment
Heritage NSW Criteria
Assessment
Criterion (a) Historical Significance: an item is
important in the course, or pattern, of NSW9s
cultural or natural history (or the local area)
The cottage 8Yamba9 is an example of the smaller
scale farming of the Nepean floodplain which
began in the early 20th Century and is important in
illustrating the landscape surrounding the Hume
Highway route of this period. This item meets this
criterion at a local level of significance.
