However, debate on the definition of public art is still going on: ‘Artworks in Public Places’ and ‘Artworks by/with the public’. Roles and content of public art in Melbourne have been altered and they have affected the typology chronologically and geographically. -

St Vincent Place East (South Melbourne) – H0441
Port Phillip Heritage Review 6.32 St Vincent Place East (South Melbourne) – H0441 Existing Designations: Heritage Council Register: nil National Estate Register: nil National Trust Register: nil Previous Heritage Studies: Conservation Study 1975: Precincts 3 and 6 (part) Conservation Study 1987: UC1: Precinct C Heritage Review 2000: HO3 (part) 6.32.1 History The residential estate known as St Vincent Place was created in 1854 as an extension to the original Emerald Hill town plan, which had been laid out two years earlier. Its striking design, attributed to Andrew Clarke (then Surveyor-General of Victoria), was based on the traditional Circus or Crescent developments of Georgian London, where housing was laid out in a curve around a central public reserve. Clarke’s original scheme, as depicted on an 1855 survey map, proposed a rectangular estate with curved ends, defined by Park Street, Howe Crescent, Bridport Street and Merton Crescent. It comprised two concentric rows of residential allotments with a laneway between, enclosing an open space with two small elliptical reserves flanking a longer round-ended reserve, the latter with indications of landscaping and a network of curved pathways. This grand scheme, however, was not realised at that time, and would subsequently be revised when it was decided to run the new St Kilda railway line parallel to Ferrars Street, which effectively split the proposed St Vincent Place estate into two parts. A revised design, prepared by Clement Hodgkinson in 1857, proposed the development of each portion as a discrete subdivision. The smaller eastern portion, east of the new railway line, became a stand-alone estate with two streets that curved around a central semi-circular reserve alongside the railway cutting. -

Melbourne is famous for its picturesque parks and gardens and is renowned as Australia’s garden city. Victoria too is hailed as the Garden State. It was in Melbourne’s early development that Governor Charles La Trobe set aside parklands for people to enjoy the beauty of outdoor gardens. Land was reserved for the beautiful Fitzroy Gardens in 1848, and Captain Cook’s Cottage as well as over 1,000 trees including an avenue of 250 Dutch and English Elms can be found here. The book also includes photos of the historic Carlton Gardens with the World Heritage listed Royal Exhibition Buildings, which annually hosts the immensely popular Melbourne International Flower and Garden Show. Kings Domain, established in 1854, encompasses La Trobe’s Cottage, the Shrine of Remembrance, the Sidney Myer Music Bowl and has many trees planted by early directors of the Botanic Gardens, Baron Ferdinand von Mueller and William Guilfoyle. The Queen Victoria Gardens include a floral clock displaying over 7,000 flowers and the Royal Botanic Gardens Melbourne, established in 1846 are regarded as one of the finest botanic, landscaped gardens in the world. Melbourne’s passion for natural beauty has led to the creation of hundreds of parks and gardens. -
