Statement of Significance
• The site has historic value for its association with the butter factory which operated at this site and was an important industry and employer in the town.
History
The South West Co-Operative Dairy Products Ltd dairy was opened on this site by Premier Collier on 23 October 1929 and was a significant employer in the district until its closure in the 1970s. The opening of the factory was a demonstration of confidence in the expanding dairy industry during the Depression when other industry was almost non-existent. The factory produced 'Sunnywest' butter which was distributed throughout the state.
