Statement of Significance

Dudley House was one of the first government offices erected in Bendigo's Camp Hill area following the discovery of gold in 1851. It was constructed in 1858-1859 by building contractors Gretch and Cooper for the public works department and served as the residence and office for Bendigo's first surveyor, Richard Larritt. The building is one of the earliest and most intact 1850s buildings remaining in the central administrative and commercial precinct of Bendigo. Its stables were built in 1863 and the property was known as Dudley house from the 1890s. Its significance is summarized as follows:

1) Dudley house is one of the earliest and the most intact government buildings surviving in Bendigo from the early gold-rush era of Melbourne.

2) Architecturally, the modest exterior detail reflects the style of early government building prior to the opulent styles of later decades.

3) The buildings were the office and residence for the government district surveyor, Richard Larritt, responsible for Bendigo's present street layout.

  General Exemptions:
  General exemptions apply to all places and objects included in the Victorian Heritage Register (VHR). General exemptions have been designed to allow everyday activities, maintenance and changes to your property, which don’t harm its cultural heritage significance, to proceed without the need to obtain approvals under the Heritage Act 2017.
  Places of worship: In some circumstances, you can alter a place of worship to accommodate religious practices without a permit, but you must notify the Executive Director of Heritage Victoria before you start the works or activities at least 20 business days before the works or activities are to commence.
  Subdivision/consolidation: Permit exemptions exist for some subdivisions and consolidations. If the subdivision or consolidation is in accordance with a planning permit granted under Part 4 of the Planning and Environment Act 1987 and the application for the planning permit was referred to the Executive Director of Heritage Victoria as a determining referral authority, a permit is not required.
  Specific exemptions may also apply to your registered place or object. If applicable, these are listed below. Specific exemptions are tailored to the conservation and management needs of an individual registered place or object and set out works and activities that are exempt from the requirements of a permit. Specific exemptions prevail if they conflict with general exemptions.
