Statement of Significance

Source: Report to Minister

The Flemington Police Station and Lock Up form part of a complex of public buildings designed by AJ McDonald for the Public Works Department.

The Flemington Police Station designed in 1890 and Lock Up designed in 1891 comprise a group of picturesque and unusual buildings which, together with the adjoining court house, form an outstanding group of public buildings designed by AJ McDonald under the Public Works Department district architect, JT Kelleher.

The police station and lock up represent a substantially intact and excellent example of the work of A J McDonald whose contribution to the "battle of styles" marked a highpoint in the development of architectural importance by the Public Works Department.

The Flemington Police Station and Lock Up are major contributors to an important 19th century streetscape.

    • Permit Exemptions

      POLICE STATION AND LOCK-UP - 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.
