 | | The Eureka Rebellion, culminating in the fight for the Eureka Stockade on 3 December 1854, has become synonymous in Australia's history with the concept of fair play and equal opportunity for all and remains a key element in the concept of an Australian cultural tradition and identity. |
 | | The Eureka Rebellion Historic Precinct is significant for its association with Peter Lalor, who led the miners in battle against government troops at the Eureka Stockade and who went on to become a Member of the Legislative Council and later served as Speaker almost until his death in 1889 (Criterion H). |
 | | Its significance is enhanced by the addition of the marble tablet to the memorial by the Eureka Improvement Committee in 1923, honouring the heroism of the pioneers who died at the Eureka Stockade in their fight for liberty and the soldiers who died during the final battle (Criteria A and B). |
