Statement of Significance
Statement of Significance
The Ballarat Road Residential Heritage Precinct is historically significant to the City of Maribyrnong because:
- it is one of the city's more historically expressive precincts from two major and distinguishable growth periods in the city's development, particularly its large villa development with:
- large generally Edwardian and Victorian era villas,
- masonry (red brick and stucco) walls,
- detached siting in varying sized blocks,
- attic and single storey height,
- terra-cotta tiled or slate roofs,
- originally with picket front fences,
- originally with asphalt footpaths and stone kerb and channel, with little surviving,
- originally with no provision for on-site vehicle parking for most of the identified housing, with some exceptions, and a general built form of the typical Edwardian villa main hip and projecting gable roof form combination (Criterion A4);
- of the architecturally notable housing along Ballarat Road which is outstanding as a group in the Western Region (Criterion F1) ; and
- it reflects the architectural and siting choice of the more affluent Footscray residents in the Edwardian and Victorian-eras (Criterion H1)
