to plant trees in commemoration of early European settlers and as the location for a succession of war memorials and the important statue of Governor Macquarie. The place possesses uncommon, rare or endangered aspects of the cultural or natural history of New South Wales. McQuade Park has rarity value at State level because it is an exceptional example of the small number of town squares which survive and fulfil their original function in the eight country towns founded and planned by Governor Macquarie. The Boer War was commemorated by only a few public monuments throughout New South Wales and the fine example in McQuade Park is of state significance. The place is important in demonstrating the principal characteristics of a class of cultural or natural places/environments in New South Wales. McQuade Park has State significant representative value because it illustrates most of the uses to which an early town square might be put over a long period, including sport of various kinds, passive recreation, public celebration and the commemoration of those who served in external wars.
