Statement of Significance
What is Significant?The Burke Road North Commercial and Transport Precinct contains individually significant or contributory sites, which provide a visually cohesive elevation that demonstrates the major development phase of the commercial area surrounding Camberwell Railway Station. The buildings which contribute to the significance of the precinct date primarily from the late nineteenth century and the early twentieth century, along with some commercial development from the post-World War I and interwar periods. Visually remote from but related to the precinct is the Camberwell Station, itself an important factor in the establishment and growth of the precinct and area (G Butler, Camberwell Conservation Study 1991, additional comments by Lovell Chen 2008).The fabric which contributes to the significance of this precinct, with the exception of the station, is essentially that which presents to and is visible from the street, as observed in front-on and longer angled views. This generally comprises the front and side street return facades, and parapets, chimneys and roof scapes. Surviving intact and early shopfronts also contribute to the significance of the precinct. Other than this fabric the depth of fabric to be retained in any redevelopment is that which is sufficient to support the facades. While the rear facades and lower wings remain in various states of intactness they are generally not considered to contribute to the assessed significance of the precinct.Specific buildings of individual and contributory significance which are important to the precinct are identified in the attached schedule.How is it Significant?The Burke Road North Commercial and Transport Precinct is historically and aesthetically significant to the City of Boroondara.Why is it Significant?The Burke Road North Commercial and Transport Precinct is of importance in reflecting the initial phase in the commercial development of Burke Road in the vicinity of Camberwell Railway Station. It is important in demonstrating the principal characteristics of a class of buildings - retail and commercial with residential above - constructed between 1880 and 1930 and as presenting in a coherent group. Additionally, the precinct generally exhibits a strong streetscape cohesion and presentation with a readily discernible aesthetic character.
