STEVEN AVERY Executive Director Recommendation Date: Friday 17 November 2017 This recommendation report has been issued by the Executive Director, Heritage Victoria under s.37 of the Heritage Act 2017. It has not been considered or endorsed by the Heritage Council of Victoria. Name:11 Majore Street, Hawthorn Hermes Number: 198648 Page | 1 EXTENT OF NOMINATION Date that the nomination was accepted by the Executive Director 1 February 2016 Written extent of nomination All of the place known as 11 Majore Street Hawthorn. Nomination extent diagram Nominated extent is indicated by green line Name:11 Majore Street, Hawthorn Hermes Number: 198648 Page | 2 EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR RESPONSE SUMMARY It is the view of the Executive Director that this place should not be included in the Victorian Heritage Register for the reasons outlined in this report. The information presented in this report and the attached documents demonstrates that 11 Majore Street, Hawthorn may be of potential local significance, rather than State level significance. Heritage Council may wish to refer the recommendation and submissions to the relevant planning authority for consideration for an amendment to a planning scheme; or determine that it is more appropriate for steps to be taken under the Planning and Environment Act 1987 or by any other means to protect or conserve the place. Name:11 Majore Street, Hawthorn Hermes Number: 198648 Page | 3 RECOMMENDATION REASONS REASONS FOR NOT RECOMMENDING INCLUSION IN THE VICTORIAN HERITAGE REGISTER [37(1)(b)] Following is the Executive Director's assessment of the place against the tests set out in The Victorian Heritage Register Criteria and Thresholds Guidelines (2014). CRITERION A Importance to the course, or pattern, of Victoria’s cultural history. STEP 1: A BASIC TEST FOR SATISFYING CRITERION A The place/object has a CLEAR ASSOCIATION with an event, phase, period, process, function, movement, custom or way of life in Victoria’s cultural history. Plus The association of the place/object to the event, phase, etc IS EVIDENT in the physical fabric of the place/object and/or in documentary resources or oral history. Plus The EVENT, PHASE, etc is of HISTORICAL IMPORTANCE, having made a strong or influential contribution to Victoria. Executive Director’s Response 11 Majore Street, Hawthorn has an association with the rapid development of Melbourne’s eastern suburbs during the building boom of the 1880s which contributed to the growth and development of Victoria. It is representative of the numerous villas and small mansions within garden settings which were established in Hawthorn and other eastern suburbs during this period. The association is evident in the physical fabric of the place and in documentary resources. Criterion A is likely to be satisfied. STEP 2: A BASIC TEST FOR DETERMINING STATE LEVEL SIGNIFICANCE FOR CRITERION A The place/object allows the clear association with the event, phase etc. of historical importance to be UNDERSTOOD BETTER THAN MOST OTHER PLACES OR OBJECTS IN VICTORIA WITH SUBSTANTIALLY THE SAME ASSOCIATION. Executive Director’s Response 11 Majore Street, Hawthorn is one of many Italianate villas constructed in Melbourne suburbs and in Victoria during the 1880s. It has no particular features or associations which distinguish it or elevate it above similar places built in the eastern suburbs during this period. It does not allow the clear association with this phase to be understood any better than a number of similar places in Victoria, including Kawarau in Hawthorn (VHR 489), and Villa Alba (VHR 0605) and Raheen in Kew (VHR H0515). Criterion A is not likely to be satisfied at the State level. CRITERION B Possession of uncommon, rare or endangered aspects of Victoria’s cultural history. STEP 1: A BASIC TEST FOR SATISFYING CRITERION B The place/object has a clear ASSOCIATION with an event, phase, period, process, function, movement, custom or way of life of importance in Victoria’s cultural history. Name:11 Majore Street, Hawthorn Hermes Number: 198648 Page | 4 Plus The association of the place/object to the event, phase, etc IS EVIDENT in the physical fabric of the place/object and/or in documentary resources or oral history. Plus The place/object is RARE OR UNCOMMON, being one of a small number of places/objects remaining that demonstrates the important event, phase etc. OR The place/object is RARE OR UNCOMMON, containing unusual features of note that were not widely replicated OR The existence of the class of place/object that demonstrates the important event, phase etc is ENDANGERED to the point of rarity due to threats and pressures on such places/objects. Executive Director’s Response 11 Majore Street, Hawthorn does not possess uncommon, rare or endangered aspects of Victoria’s cultural history. A substantial number of Italianate villas survive as evidence of the rapid growth of Melbourne’s eastern suburbs in the 1880s, and as examples of the Italianate style of architecture. Criterion B is not likely to be satisfied. CRITERION C Potential to yield information that will contribute to an understanding of Victoria’s cultural history. STEP 1: A BASIC TEST FOR SATISFYING CRITERION C The: • visible physical fabric; &/or • documentary evidence; &/or • oral history, relating to the place/object indicates a likelihood that the place/object contains PHYSICAL EVIDENCE of historical interest that is NOT CURRENTLY VISIBLE OR UNDERSTOOD. Plus From what we know of the place/object, the physical evidence is likely to be of an INTEGRITY and/or CONDITION that it COULD YIELD INFORMATION through detailed investigation. Executive Director’s Response 11 Majore Street, Hawthorn does not have the potential to yield information that is not currently visible or understood (such as archaeological information) that will contribute to an understanding of Victoria’s cultural history. Criterion C is not likely to be satisfied. CRITERION D Importance in demonstrating the principal characteristics of a class of cultural places and objects. STEP 1: A BASIC TEST FOR SATISFYING CRITERION D The place/object is one of a CLASS of places/objects that has a clear ASSOCIATION with an event, phase, period, process, function, movement, important person(s), custom or way of life in Victoria’s history. Plus Name:11 Majore Street, Hawthorn Hermes Number: 198648 Page | 5 The EVENT, PHASE, etc is of HISTORICAL IMPORTANCE, having made a strong or influential contribution to Victoria. Plus The principal characteristics of the class are EVIDENT in the physical fabric of the place/object. Executive Director’s Response 11 Majore Street, Hawthorn is part of the class of ‘nineteenth century villas’. This class has a clear association with the development of Melbourne’s eastern suburbs including Hawthorn, Camberwell and Kew, and with the evolution and development of Victoria’s built environment more generally. 11 Majore Street, Hawthorn displays characteristics typical of this class of place including an asymmetrical front elevation, verandahs and polychromatic brickwork, although the front elevation has been painted. Criterion D is likely to be satisfied. STEP 2: A BASIC TEST FOR DETERMINING STATE LEVEL SIGNIFICANCE FOR CRITERION D The place/object is a NOTABLE EXAMPLE of the class in Victoria (refer to Reference Tool D). Executive Director’s Response 11 Majore Street, Hawthorn is not a notable example of this class of place in Victoria. It is not highly intact and is not fine, influential or pivotal. 11 Majore Street, Hawthorn is one of a number of Italianate villas designed in the 1880s, many of which are more distinctive and display more of the characteristics of the style. Notable examples included in the VHR include Kawarau, Hawthorn (VHR 489), and Villa Alba (VHR 0605) and Raheen (VHR H0515) Kew. Places similar to 11 Majore Street not in the VHR but with heritage overlays include Norwood (HO 432), 62 Barkers Road (HO5) and Huntingtower (HO31), all in Hawthorn. Criterion D is not likely to be satisfied at the State level. CRITERION E Importance in exhibiting particular aesthetic characteristics. STEP 1: A BASIC TEST FOR SATISFYING CRITERION E The PHYSICAL FABRIC of the place/object clearly exhibits particular aesthetic characteristics. Executive Director’s Response The physical fabric of 11 Majore Street, Hawthorn exhibits particular aesthetic characteristics through its nineteenth century design, polychromatic brickwork and its deep frontage to Majore Street. Criterion E is likely to be satisfied. STEP 2: A BASIC TEST FOR DETERMINING STATE LEVEL SIGNIFICANCE FOR CRITERION E The aesthetic characteristics are APPRECIATED OR VALUED by the wider community or an appropriately- related discipline as evidenced, for example, by: • critical recognition of the aesthetic characteristics of the place/object within a relevant art, design, architectural or related discipline as an outstanding example within Victoria; or • wide public acknowledgement of exceptional merit in Victoria in medium such as songs, poetry, literature, painting, sculpture, publications, print media etc. Executive Director’s Response The particular aesthetic characteristics of 11 Majore Street, Hawthorn are appreciated by the community, however there has been no critical recognition of the aesthetic characteristics of the place within a relevant discipline, or wide public acknowledgement of exceptional merit in any medium. Name:11 Majore Street, Hawthorn Hermes Number: 198648 Page | 6 Criterion E is not likely to be satisfied at the State level.

  • Hawthorn Heritage Study
    HAWTHORN HERITAGE STUDY APRIL 1993 The Hawthorn Heritage Study was one of the three Special Strategy Plan Projects started during 1991. The Heritage Study was prepared by a team led by Meredith Gould, Conservation Architect, with substantial input from the Townscape and Heritage Topic Group as part of the Hawthorn Strategy Plan process. Some sections of the study were completed in draft form as early as late 1991; other sections have only reached completion now. This Study is the first ever comprehensive assessment of Hawthorn's urban and landscape heritage. Every bUilding in Hawthorn has been assessed for its heritage value. Significant trees, parks, landscapes and roadways have also been evaluated and recorded. The heritage areas proposed in the Study were endorsed by Hawthorn Council for the purpose of public consultation on 10 December 1991. Comments were sought by means of a map and explanatory material in a Strategy Plan booklet letterboxed throughout Hawthorn in March 1991. On 25 August 1992, Council resolved that a proposed Planning Scheme Amendment be drafted to include: Heritage protection for areas Protection of individual buildings of stand alone and contributory signiticance outside heritage areas. Voluntary registration of other individual places outside heritage areas, for the purpose of heritage protection. A degree of heritage control substantially reduced compared to normal Urban Conservation Areas. Council on 20 April 1993 resolved to publish the completed study; to notify property owners of buildings recommended for inclusion on the Historic Buildings Register, the National Estate Register and the Significant Tree Register; and to refer for further officer investigation the recommendations on signiticant street trees, kerbs/gutterslfootpaths/roadways, laneways, drains and creeks, Yarra River/Gardiners Creek, parks/reserves, and the establishment of an internal monitoring system.

    NEWSLETTER No. 131 JUNE 2020 Serving the community, families, schools, students, historians and the things you keep other researchers Heritage protection has been with us for so long now that it has evolved a history of its own. Post war architecture might be seen as one factor which inspired the first phase of the heritage protection movement in the 1950s and 1960s when Nineteenth century buildings and places seemed to be swept away by an uncaring tide of modernisation. Discussion of, and Contents agreement on, measures for its protection can be fraught with peril. In an article on the former Methodist Men’s Fellowship Hall (pages 8-9), the increased rigor and changes of emphasis that are occurring in THE THINGS YOU KEEP heritage research are noted. Additional archival material is available, 1 Progress to date on the draft Kew much of it now on-line in digitised searchable form. New themes such as Heritage Gap Study Indigenous History, Women’s History and LGBTI History have emerged. The historical time frame has expanded, the middle of last century now evokes a very different world from that of the pioneer settlers of Kew. SOCIETY NEWS 3 Lectures and Exhibitions during a The City of Boroondara Thematic Environmental History (Built Heritage period of enforced hibernation Pty Ltd, 2012) identified Post-Second World War places as representing the highest priority for further heritage study.

    NAME OF HERITAGE PLACE: Chesney Wolde Address: 57 Berkeley Street, Hawthorn Name: Chesney Wolde Survey Date: 25 August 2020 Place Type: Residential Architect: Not Known Grading: Significant Builder: Not Known Extent of Overlay: To title boundaries Construction Date: c1916 Historical Context The First Nations People, the Wurundjeri, have a connection to the land along the valleys of the Yarra River and Gardiners Creek.1 This connection extends back thousands of years, and continues today. The boundaries of Hawthorn are defined by Barkers Road and Burke Road to the north and east; and two watercourses, the Yarra River and its tributary, Gardiners Creek.2 Of 1 Gary Presland, First People. The Eastern Kulin of Melbourne, Port Phillip and Central Victoria, p 25. 2 The former City of Hawthorn 1 the watercourses, hills, valleys and plains within the Melbourne region, it is the Yarra River that is its defining feature, and one that serves as its artery. It was its abundant supply of freshwater that saw European settlement establish along the Yarra River in the nineteenth century. Today the metropolis still obtains much of its water from the Yarra and its tributaries in the nearby ranges. It was a short distance from the subject site, that in 1836-37 pastoralist John Gardiner (1798-1878) settled with his family, and Joseph Hawdon and John Hepburn. They drove cattle overland from Sydney to the property they established on Gardiners Creek,3 land now occupied by Scotch College. Improved transport links with the city, initially the completion of the railway from the city to Hawthorn in 1861, stimulated residential development.

  • SCG Victorian Councils Post Amalgamation
    Analysis of Victorian Councils Post Amalgamation September 2019 spence-consulting.com Spence Consulting 2 Analysis of Victorian Councils Post Amalgamation Analysis by Gavin Mahoney, September 2019 It’s been over 20 years since the historic Victorian Council amalgamations that saw the sacking of 1600 elected Councillors, the elimination of 210 Councils and the creation of 78 new Councils through an amalgamation process with each new entity being governed by State appointed Commissioners. The Borough of Queenscliffe went through the process unchanged and the Rural City of Benalla and the Shire of Mansfield after initially being amalgamated into the Shire of Delatite came into existence in 2002. A new City of Sunbury was proposed to be created from part of the City of Hume after the 2016 Council elections, but this was abandoned by the Victorian Government in October 2015. The amalgamation process and in particular the sacking of a democratically elected Council was referred to by some as revolutionary whilst regarded as a massacre by others. On the sacking of the Melbourne City Council, Cr Tim Costello, Mayor of St Kilda in 1993 said “ I personally think it’s a drastic and savage thing to sack a democratically elected Council. Before any such move is undertaken, there should be questions asked of what the real point of sacking them is”. Whilst Cr Liana Thompson Mayor of Port Melbourne at the time logically observed that “As an immutable principle, local government should be democratic like other forms of government and, therefore the State Government should not be able to dismiss any local Council without a ratepayers’ referendum.

  • A Short History of Our Club
    A Short History of our club. The Beginning In the early 1950’s, Australia was a vastly different place. Its population of a little over 12 million was almost exclusively of British descent. It had just emerged from almost six years of World War II during which hundreds of thousands of its men and women enlisted voluntarily for service in the armed forces. By 1949 Australia was emerging from wartime shortages and rationing. Oil exploration had not started. Mining was a very unsophisticated affair and the pick and shovel were the order of the day. Jet aircraft had not invaded the skies. High rise building was confined to St Patrick’s spire on Eastern Hill. We only just had our first Australian car. We had no freeways but the roads were not choked as few people had cars. Having children was normal; marrying beforehand was usual. Rotary had expanded from its beginnings in Chicago with clubs being formed in Canada, Ireland and England. Early in the second decade of the century we had a new organisation calling itself Rotary International. Two distinguished Canadians were appointed by RI in 1921 to undertake the task of establishing Rotary in Australia. Almost by accident, Melbourne was the site of that first club when Sydney passed up a prior opportunity. It is interesting to note that it took 16 years for Rotary to expand from Chicago to Melbourne (some 14,000km), it took another 32 years for it to expand a further 7km to Hawthorn. Between its formation in 1921 and the start of WWII, the Melbourne club ceded territory for only 3 other clubs to be formed, Essendon, Dandenong and Footscray.

  • 70 Riversdale Road Hawthorn
    DUPLEX Prepared by: Context Pty Ltd Address: 70 Riversdale Road, Hawthorn Name: Duplex Survey Date: 18 May 2016 Place Type: Residential Architect: Grading: Individually Significant Builder: John Marriage Extent of Overlay: To title boundaries Construction Date: 1928-29 Historical Context The duplex at 70 Riversdale Road, Hawthorn is associated with the following themes in the City of Boroondara Thematic Environmental History (BTEH) 2012: 3.0 Connecting Victorians: 3.5 Travelling by tram 6.0 Building towns, cities and the Garden State: 6.3 Shaping the suburbs, 6.3.3 Creating middle class suburbs in the early twentieth century; 6.7 Making homes for Victorians, 6.7.5 Developing higher density living The following historical context comprises edited extracts from the BTEH 2012. The term ‘study area’ refers to the City of Boroondara: Travelling by tram The opening of the new Victoria Street Bridge in 1884, and the establishment of a cable tram terminus (on the Collingwood side of the river) in late 1885, prompted the Melbourne Tramway & Omnibus Company to propose a horse-drawn tram route through Kew. Commencing in 1887, this route ran between the gates of the Boroondara Cemetery and the new bridge, where commuters could cross the river and board the cable tram to the city. In January 1890, the same company established a second horse- drawn tram route through the study area – this time, extending from the Hawthorn Bridge (where there was another cable tram terminus on the western bank) along Burwood Road, Power Street, and Riversdale Road to Auburn Road, Upper Hawthorn. As Gwen McWilliam notes, this new tram route was to have a significant impact on the development of Riversdale Road as a local retail centre.

  • The Places We Keep: the Heritage Studies of Victoria and Outcomes for Urban Planners
    The places we keep: the heritage studies of Victoria and outcomes for urban planners Robyn Joy Clinch Submitted in total fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Architecture & Planning) June 2012 Faculty of Architecture, Building & Planning The University of Melbourne Abstract The incentive for this thesis that resulted from an investigation into the history of my heritage house, developed from my professional interest in the planning controls on heritage places. This was further motivated by my desire to reinvent my career as an urban planner and to use my professional experience in management, marketing and information technology. As a result, the aim of this thesis was to investigate the relationship between the development of the heritage studies of Victoria and the outcome of those documents on planning decisions made by urban planners. The methods used included a simulated experience that established a methodology for the thesis. In addition, interviews were conducted with experts in the field that provided a context for understanding the influencing factors of when, where, by whom, with what, why and how the studies were conducted. These interviews also contributed to the understanding of how the historical research had been undertaken and used to establish the significance of places and how this translated into outcomes for urban planners. Case studies in the form of Tribunal determinations have been used to illustrate key outcomes for urban planners. A large amount of information including that relating to the historical background of the studies plus a collection of indicative content from over 400 heritage studies was traversed.
