Statement of Significance

What is significant?

Parlington, earlier known as Verulam, was constructed in the Italianate style in about 1888 for William Elsdon, later the Chief Engineer for the Victorian Railways. Subsequent owners included Albert Terry, a nineteenth century Melbourne brewer.

How is it significant?

Parlington is of historic and architectural significance to the State of Victoria

Why is it significant?

Parlington is of historic importance through its association with Melbourne's suburbanisation and for demonstrating contemporary social associations of status and residences. It is historically important in its retention of the rear stable block comprising the original stables, coachhouse and coachmen's quarters. Parlington is important in exhibiting good design and aesthetic characteristics, particularly through its asymmetrical composition, decorated loggias, tower and original rendered facade, and through the stained glass windows and internal panels.

      Permit Exemptions

      PARLINGTON - Permit Exemptions

      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.
