  • Flinders Street Railway Viaduct PS Ref No
    STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE Heritage Place: Flinders Street PS ref no: HO1336 Railway Viaduct What is significant? The Flinders Street Railway Viaduct, expanded in three major stages completed in 1891, 1917 and 1978. Elements that contribute to the significance of the place include (but are not limited to): The overall form and geometry of the viaduct; The main steel/iron riveted composite post and beam structure, balustrades etc; The face brick piers including bluestone and sandstone detailing such as plinths, end pediments with sandstone detailing, spandrels and quoins, and double-blind arches; The brick vaults and undercrofts; and The substation. How it is significant? The Flinders Street Railway Viaduct, Flinders Street, Melbourne is of local historic, rarity, aesthetic and technical significance to the City of Melbourne. Why it is significant? The Flinders Street Railway Viaduct is historically significant as a key component of the Melbourne railway network. Constructed to connect Flinders Street and Spencer Street railway stations in 1888- 91. The Viaduct was constructed by engineers Mixner, Shaw & Dunlop, and Robison Brothers, Campbell & Sloss Ltd to a design by William Henry Greene, chief engineer of the Victorian Railways and carried two lines. It was a substantial structure for its time, spanning Flinders, Spencer and Market streets. The viaduct provides important evidence of the expansion of the rail network in the 1880s and 1890s under the management of Victorian Railways, and in 1911-17 by engineer Mephan Ferguson and Victorian Railways engineer, F K Esling as demands on Melbourne’s railway system increased. Another two lines were added to the existing four lines of the viaduct in 1978 as part of the construction of Melbourne’s underground City Loop railway project.

  • Victorian Heritage Database Place Details - 27/9/2021 Spencer Street Bridge
    Victorian Heritage Database place details - 27/9/2021 Spencer Street Bridge Location: Between Spencer Street & Clarendon Street,, MELBOURNE VIC 3000 - Property No B6799 Heritage Inventory (HI) Number: Listing Authority: HI Extent of Registration: Statement of Significance: The Spencer Street Bridge built by the Victorian Railways Construction Branch in 1929-30 is significant as a major new crossing of the Yarra River reflecting engineering and design standards intended to enhance the Yarra River as an aesthetic and recreational adjunct to the City of Melbourne. The Spencer Street Bridge is significant for aesthetic/architectural, historic, and technical reasons at a State level. Spencer Street Bridge was constructed after a long period of stagnation in road and bridge development in Victoria in a climate of controversy and rivalry between public authorities, local councils and politicians. The Spencer Street Bridge is of historical significance as the first major new crossing (as opposed to replacement of older bridges on existing crossings such as the 1924 Church Street Bridge) to be created over the lower Yarra in Melbourne after a considerable lull in such projects since the Morell Bridge of 1899-1900. Its construction demonstrates the political difficulties of the time and the growing importance of motor vehicle traffic to Melbourne's commerce. The Spencer Street Bridge was the first permanent structure over the Yarra built below "the falls" (a natural rock barrier that formed the upstream limit of practical river navigation) and as such is historically important because it was the first bridge to effectively cut the city off from direct contact with its port.

  • 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.

  • Princes Bridge Northbound Bike Lane
    4 October 2013 Submission to the Future Melbourne (Transport) Committee Princes Bridge Northbound Bike Lane Victoria Walks congratulates the City of Melbourne for undertaking the trial of an on-road bicycle lane on Princes Bridge, which rectifies a previous error in placing bicycles on the footpath. Victoria Walks is concerned that the public debate around the Princes Bridge northbound bike lane trial has largely ignored the positive impact of the project on walking. Princes Bridge is a key pedestrian route across the Yarra River, connecting some of Melbourne’s most significant pedestrian destinations including Flinders Street Railway Station, Federation Square and the arts precinct. Princes Bridge is used by approximately 30,000 pedestrians per day. Between 5 and 6pm an average 3,178 people walk across the bridge, more than the number who cross by car (2,166) and bicycle (909) combined (City of Melbourne 2013a). The existing footpaths on each side of the Bridge are not suitable to be used as shared paths or to be divided into separated paths for cyclists and pedestrians. VicRoads’ Guidelines for shared path design do not anticipate paths with volumes greater than 200 pedestrians per hour (VicRoads 2013). With between 700 and 2,500 pedestrians per hour1, Princes Bridge is literally ‘off the chart’ in terms of pedestrian volumes. VicRoads recommend separate bike and footpath facilities for higher volumes, but there is insufficient space on the Princes Bridge footpaths to create comfortable, separated cycling and pedestrian environments. Princes Bridge (prior to the bike lane trial) is used as an illustration of poor separation of cyclists and walkers in the VicRoads’ Guidelines (attached).
