The purpose of the Study is to complete the identification, assessment and documentation of places of post-contact cultural significance within Manningham City (the study area) and to make recommendations for their future conservation. This volume contains all the citations for heritage places and precincts throughout the City of Manningham including: • All of the places assessed or reviewed by this Study (see below). • All of the places identified or assessed by previous studies including the City of Doncaster & Templestowe Heritage Study (1991), City of Doncaster & Templestowe. Additional Sites Recommendations (1993), Doncaster & Templestowe Heritage Study Additional Historical Research (1994), and the Wonga Park Heritage Study (1996). • Places identified by individuals and organisations including Council’s Heritage Adviser, local historical societies and residents. The citations are derived from an electronic database known as the Manningham Local Heritage Places Database (Manningham LHPD), which uses a program that was developed by Heritage Victoria. This volume should be read in conjunction with Volume 1 – Key Findings and Recommendations, which provides an explanation of the study methodology and lists of the places and precincts assessed or reviewed by this Study. Purpose The rich and diverse cultural heritage of the City of Manningham illustrates the historic use, development and occupation of the land. This history is demonstrated by a wide range of heritage places that include buildings and structures, monuments, trees and landscapes, and archaeological sites. They have one thing in common: These are places that are worth keeping because they enrich our lives – by helping us to understand the past; by contributing to the richness of the present environment; and because we expect them to be of value to future generations. (The Burra Charter) These places give Manningham a sense of historic continuity as well as a distinctive character. They reveal the way local communities in Manningham in past years thought about their local area as well as indicating prevailing economic, social and political circumstances that may have extended outside Manningham to include the whole of Victoria. The purpose of the heritage place and precinct citations is to provide a description of the history of the place and its surviving fabric (including buildings, trees, fences, etc.) and, on this basis, to provide an assessment of the significance of the place. Further detail about how places were assessed can be found in Volume 1 of the Study. i HERITAGE PLACE & PRECINCT CITATIONS HOW TO USE Introduction The citations in this volume are listed in alphabetical order by the name of the place and use a standard report layout provided by the Manningham Local Heritage Places Database. There are citations for two types of heritage places: • Places of local significance to Manningham City. These are places that are either already included in the Heritage Overlay of the Manningham Planning Scheme or are recommended for inclusion. Some of these places are also of State significance and are included on the Victorian Heritage Register.1 • Places of local interest to Manningham City. These are places that are of some historic interest, but are not considered to be significant particularly when compared to similar places within Manningham City. Heritage places of local significance have quite detailed citations that explain the reasons why they are significant and provide recommendations for future conservation and management. The information that will be relevant to most users is included under the following headings: • Description • History • Statement of Significance • Recommendations On the other hand, citations for places heritage places of local interest generally contain only limited information. However, it is important to note that the citations are drawn from various studies that have been carried out over a 15 year period. Accordingly, the amount of information provided and where it appears in the citation may vary according to which study it is derived from. This is described further below. The terms used throughout this Study are consistent with The Burra Charter: The Australia ICOMOS Charter for Places of Cultural Heritage Significance (1999). A glossary of key terms and their meanings is provided in Volume 1. Description This provides a description of all the surviving physical fabric (such as buildings, trees, fences, etc.) that illustrates the history of the place and contributes to its significance. It may also describe elements that are considered intrusive or non-contributory to significance. However, for many places (particularly those assessed by the City of Doncaster & Templestowe Heritage Study (1991)), the description is provided within the History section. 1 For further information about the differences between places of local significance and local interest please refer to Volume 1 of this Study. ii MANNINGHAM HERITAGE STUDY REVIEW 2005 History This provides a history of place on the basis of the information available at the time of preparing the Study. It is not intended as a complete history of the place, but of the key events and influences that shaped its development. For example, the history would not usually provide a description of all of the owners of a place, but rather of those that were associated with key periods in its development, usually when it was first constructed or established, and when key changes or improvements were made. The extent of history depends on the availability of primary and secondary source material about a place. As described above, some histories also provide a description of the place. Statement of Significance The Statement of Significance is based upon the information known about a place including its history and the surviving physical fabric that illustrates that history. On this basis, it seeks to describe the principal reasons for the significance of the place and is intended to be: ... a brief, pithy but comprehensive statement of all the ways in which the place is significant. It should not just be a list of every conceivable reason for significance that the assessor can think up, however, it must state clearly and unequivocally the major reasons why the place is important. It must be supported by the presentation of sufficient evidence to justify the assessment judgement. (Pearson & Sullivan 1995.) Recommendations This provides recommendations for inclusion to any statutory registers including: • The Heritage Overlay of the Manningham Planning Scheme. • The Victorian Heritage Register or Heritage Inventory. • The National Heritage List. For places or precincts assessed or reviewed by this Study, it also includes general conservation objectives and guidelines for buildings (and trees, where relevant) to ensure that future use, development and management of the place is carried out in a manner that conserves (or minimises impact upon) its significance. iii HERITAGE PLACE & PRECINCT CITATIONS REFERENCES Context Pty Ltd.
