Statement of Significance
Precinct 6.04 (Drought Street Precinct) and 6.05 adjoin 6.02 on the north and north-east and hence act as a buffer to this important area. Nevertheless, they do contain some locally interesting streetscapes, individually significant buildings and groups of well-preserved housing from Bendigo's golden era. The terrain of Drought Street precinct enhances views to structures and offers elevated sites for unusual complexes such as 14 Anderson Street with its notable garden wall enclosing the hilltop.
Former Precinct Bendigo Residential 6.02
As with 6.01, this precinct contains some of the study area's most prestigious houses, dominantly of the 19th and early 20th century era. Persons associated with them include successful mining speculators, such as Mueller and Lansell, and this century's industrial leaders in the Leggo family, both categories reflecting Bendigo's economic base pre and post World War One.

Description for former precinct - Bendigo Residential Precinct
In the west of the precinct are fine 19th, early 20th Century residential streetscapes in Forest and Wattle Streets, north of Barnard Street. Individually significant sites include numbers 113 (cI871), 116, 117, 119, 126, 128, Acacia Villa at 129-131, 133 and 140 Forest Street and, in Wattle Street, numbers 166, 167,169,174,179,182,184 and the former fuse factory at 193. As with View Streets, proximity to former gold working areas, at Ironbark Gully, signal a depletion of surviving built fabric from the past, making Langston Street the cut-off point on the north.
