Statement of Significance

What is significant?
Emerald Hill Estate Residences (6 Fishley Street, South Melbourne) VHR H1728

How is it significant?
A homogenous area closely linked with south Melbourne’s early history. It is an area of mixed residential, commercial and civic use and most of its buildings were constructed during the period 1877-1890. 

Why is it significant?
The focal point of the area is the imposing and elaborate south Melbourne town hall. There has been some diminution of historic character by intrusion of later buildings and by unsympathetic alterations but generally the area has retained its Victorian character. It forms a homogenous, relatively intact area of Victorian buildings because most of the area was constructed by a single owner and has been in single ownership ever since.

    • Permit Exemptions

      EMERALD HILL ESTATE RESIDENCES - 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.
