Number 213 dates from 1870; number 211,1873; number 209,1875. The two storey brick structure has a two storey cast iron verandah to the south facade. The classical style brick entablature and parapet is surmounted by brick pedimented nameplates flanked by scrolls.

How is it significant?

Why is it Significant?

Cobden Terrace is of architectural significance as an outstanding example of terrace house design in Melbourne. It is notable for its early domestic use of decorative exposed brickwork, particularly on the entablature, parapet and name plates, and for its cast iron work.

Cobden Terrace is of historical significance as an outstanding feature of the Gore Street precinct which consists of a substantially intact Victorian terrace house streetscape.

    • Permit Exemptions

      COBDEN TERRACE - 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.
