  • Register of Heritage Places - Assessment Documentation
    REGISTER OF HERITAGE PLACES - ASSESSMENT DOCUMENTATION HERITAGE COUNCIL OF WESTERN AUSTRALIA 11. ASSESSMENT OF CULTURAL HERITAGE SIGNIFICANCE The criteria adopted by the Heritage Council in November, 1996 have been used to determine the cultural heritage significance of the place. 11. 1 AESTHETIC VALUE West Leederville Railway Footbridge is a pleasantly proportioned structure. It sits unobtrusively beside the station platform beneath the cotton palms that line Railway Avenue at this point, contributing to the aesthetic qualities of the streetscape. (Criterion 1.3) 11. 2. HISTORIC VALUE The railways were vital to the development and expansion of Perth and Western Australia. West Leederville Railway Footbridge is part of that history and has direct links with the second phase of development of the suburban railway system (mid-1890s) when the double track was laid and new stations were added to the line. (Criterion 2.1) 11. 3. SCIENTIFIC VALUE ------------ 11. 4. SOCIAL VALUE West Leederville Railway Footbridge has provided access from West Leederville railway station to the Subiaco Oval for football games, and has been used for this purpose since the opening of Subiaco Oval in 1909. (Criterion 4.1) West Leederville Railway Footbridge links Subiaco and West Leederville over a railway line that physically divides them. It is important for its contribution to both suburb’s sense of place and sense of community. (Criterion 4.2) Register of Heritage Places - Assessment Doc’n West Leederville Railway Footbridge 1 15/05/1998 12. DEGREE OF SIGNIFICANCE 12. 1. RARITY West Leederville Railway Footbridge is the last remaining of the timber footbridges constructed on the Eastern Railway Line around the turn of the century and is the only Queen Post footbridge surviving in Western Australia.
