They are also rare at a state level as only known surviving Nissen and Quonset huts at a migrant hostel site. The place is important in demonstrating the principal characteristics of a class of cultural or natural places/environments in New South Wales. Buildings 201, 204 and 210 are relatively intact examples of Nissen and Quonset huts previously used as a migrant hostel. They exemplify the era of Government sponsored post-war migration to Australia and the provisions for implementation of that policy. As landmarks these structures are held in high esteem by the community, particularly by the descendants of the migrants themselves, many of whom continue to live in the area.
