Statement of Significance
Historically, Melbourne's boulevards have represented, along with the ring of parkland around the city area, outstanding landscape assets. Stretching out in various directions from the heart of the metropolis, the boulevards have traditionally proviided radial approaches with a strong landscape character. Royal Parade is undoubtedly one of the finest avenues in Victoria. The particular significance of this broad, tree-lined avenue relates to its profile and scale. The width and layout of the Royal Parade carriageway offers facilities for various classes of traffic (with provision for tram, light and heavy traffic) within a parkland setting. Wide thoroughfares with trafficways segregated by belts of trees or plantation reserves represent a valuable asset to the metropolitan area of Melbourne.
The Royal Parade Historic Area represents an urban landscape of State level significance.
