Statement of Significance

Holyrood Terrace consists of three two-storey rendered brick houses and was built in 1874 by the stone mason William Watson. The ground floor comprises a recessed arcade with semi-circular arches and the first floor features a row of windows with voussoir decoration. The simple cornice has a central nameplate.

Holyrood Terrace is of architectural and historical significance to the State of Victoria.

Holyrood Terrace is of architectural significance as an excellent example of a conservative classical-style terrace, and as an examplar of a building type which is a distinctive feature of inner suburban Melbourne. The terrace is typically composed with ground floor recessed arcade. The wide semi-circular arches and the mouldings to the first floor windows are interesting features of the facade, as are the bluestone pillars of the colonnade.

Holyrood Terrace is of historical significance as an essential element of Gore Street’s 19th century streetscape, and as an important remnant of the early development of Fitzroy.

    • Permit Exemptions

      HOLYROOD 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.
