Thisimmigration program had wide ranging impacts upon thedevelopment and growth of Wollongong. The two Nissen huts andone Quonset are locally rare, as other buildings of the period havenot survived at the other Wollongong migrant hostel sites set up atthat time (in Unanderra and Berkeley). They are also rare on aStatewide basis as surviving Nissen and Quonset huts adapted foruse at a former New South Wales migrant hostel site.These structures have an historical association with author MaryRose Liverani and with the community of migrants who started theirAustralian life at the hostel before moving on to become influential inthe economic and cultural life of Wollongong.The buildings have some technical significance relating to theadaptation of Nissen and Quonset huts which have been modified foruse at a migrant hostel location.

The larger Quonset hut (building201) is in use as a childcare facility. Buildings 204 and 210 are readyfor occupation by University of Wollongong services. Buildings 204and 210 have been moved from their former flood-prone location toa raised berm near building 201. Improved site drainage protectsbuilding 201 from all but one-in-one-hundred-year flooding. There islittle archaeological potential however there is substantialdocumentary evidence available, and former residents of the hostelstill around to be able to tell the story of the site without the needfor archaeological work. Date Condition Updated: 14 Sep 06Since closure of the Hostel, in 1982, the buildings had been adapted,some repeatedly, for use by the University of Wollongong.
