It contains the citations for individual places and precincts of local heritage significance Purpose The heritage place citations provide a description of the history of the heritage place and its surviving fabric (including buildings, trees, fences, etc.) and, on this basis, provide an assessment of the significance of the place. The purpose is to assist Council, property owners and managers and other key stakeholders in making decisions about the future use, development or management of the place by providing information about the significant heritage values that should be considered when preparing a development application in accordance with the Moreland Planning Scheme. How to use Introduction The citations are listed by locality. Precincts are listed first and include the precinct maps, which show the Significant, Contributory and Non-contributory places within the precinct. The citations use a standard report layout provided by the Hermes Heritage Database. In summary, the citations explain the reasons why the places 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: • History • Description • Recommended management • Statement of Significance • Recommendations NOTE: places of local significance within a precinct (referred as Significant places) will usually have a separate citation and statement of significance, which should be considered in addition to the precinct citation. NOTENOTE: While every effort has been made to ensure that the information contained in the citations is accurate, it is possible that more detailed investigation may reveal further information about the significance of the place. For example, in most cases an internal inspection was not made of buildings at the time of initial assessment. In the time since the place was first assessed it is also possible that the condition of buildings or trees may have changed. The information contained in the citation should therefore be reviewed at the time that it is proposed to make changes to the property. This would likely require a more detailed assessment of any significant or contributory element that is affected by any proposed buildings or works. History This provides a history of place on the basis of the information available at the time of that it was originally identified and assessed. It is not intended as a complete history of the place, but rather an outline 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 1 MORELAND NORTH OF BELL STREET HERITAGE STUDY 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. 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. Note: Further investigation may be required as outlined above. Recommended management This provides general conservation objectives and guidelines for buildings (and other significant features) to ensure that future use, development and management of the place or precinct is carried out in a manner that conserves (or minimises adverse impact upon) its significance. In some cases specific guidelines are also provided 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) The citations use the Heritage Victoria format of ‘What , How and Why’, as follows: • What is significant ? This includes a statement that describes the features or elements that contribute to the significance of the place. It may also include a statement to specify features that do not contribute to the significance of a place. Some citations may also include a summary of the history of the place or precinct. • How is it significant ? This is a short statement that identifies the values – historic, aesthetic, architectural, technical, scientific, social or spiritual – that are associated with the place or precinct, and whether it is of local or State significance. • Why is it significant ? This provides statement/s for each or the values listed in ‘How’ with specific reference back to the features described in ‘What’. The statement/s describe how the place or precinct is considered to meet relevant RNE criteria, which are listed at the end of each statement. Recommendations This provides recommendations for inclusion to any statutory registers including: • The Heritage Overlay (Clause 43.01) of the Moreland Planning Scheme (Also shown as PS on the front page of the citation below the image) and a table listing the specific controls (e.g., interior controls, tree controls etc.) that should apply in addition to the general HO controls in Clause 43.01. • The Victorian Heritage Register (Shown as VHR on the front page of the citation) or Victorian Heritage Inventory (HI). 2 VOLUME 2: HERITAGE PLACE & PRECINCT CITATIONS INDEX TO CITATIONS Heritage precinct Hermes Name/description No. Street Suburb Page No. No. 140041 Fischer Street precinct 1-9 & 2-16 Fischer Street Coburg 5 139962 Main Street precinct 5-45 & 8-34 Main Street Coburg 11 140054 May Street precinct 1-35 & 2-48 May Street and Coburg 17 72 & 74 O’Hea St 149921 Rolland Street precinct 1, 3 & 6-20 Rolland Street Coburg 24 139958 Soudan Street precinct 35-49 Soudan Street Coburg 30 140039 Merlynston (Adler 1-11 & 2-12 Adler Grove Coburg 36 Grove) precinct North 140370 Merlynston (Bain 1-3 & 4-30 Bain Avenue, 5, 7 & 9 Coburg 43 Avenue) precinct Boundary Road North & 10, 12 Plaisted Street 140045 Merlynston (Delta Ave 1, 2 & 3 Delta Avenue & 17-1/21 & Coburg 51 & Lorensen Ave) 2/21 Lorensen Avenue North precinct 140034 Merlynston (Station 3-63 & 2-54 Mashoobra Street, 3-33A Coburg 58 Heights) precinct Galeka Street and 47-57 & North 54 Orvieto Street 56087 Ford Factory housing Argyle, Berry, Kiddle, Fawkner 68 precinct Lesleigh, Lorne, McBryde & Wilson streets, Chester and Jelf courts 140023 McBryde Street 181-199 & 210- McBryde Street and 7 & 9 Fawkner 76 precinct 236 Lowson Street 149935 Pascoe Buildings 434-442 Gaffney Street and 4 & 6 Pascoe Vale 83 precinct Railway Parade Heritage places Hermes Heritage place No. Street Suburb Page No. No. 59163 Lake Reserve 2A Gaffney Street & De Chene Coburg 89 Pde & Lake Grove 56736 House 1 Deans Street Coburg 95 140047 Modernist house 1 Gaffney Street Coburg 100 140042 SEC substation (former) 49-53 Gaffney Street Coburg 104 (Cnr Cope Street) 139972 Coburg Olympic Pool Murray Road Coburg 109 139996 Coburg North State School 180 O'Hea Street Coburg 114 140016 Merlynston State School 58-60 Bakers Road Coburg North 119 (former) 140005 House & Canary Island Palm 97 Boundary Road Coburg North 125 140007 J.
