Statement of Significance
These streets are part of the early subdivision pattern of urban Drysdale and include both the civic and the domestic heritage of Drysdale. The area enables interpretation of Drysdale's historic role as a centre of local government and early focus for the surrounding rural community. High, Collins, Wyndham, Murradoc and Princess Streets are linked by the original five way intersection, which now has an altered traffic flow and a roundabout.
High Street, which is the main street of Drysdale, has many buildings that reflect important evidence of community activities over time. These include the Uniting Church, the former Free Library, the former Court House, the former Post Office, the former National Bank, the former Sunday School and the War Memorial.
Princess Street has a number of buildings including a former church school, several older Victorian and Federation houses and some Bungalow styles of a later period. This early residential part of Drysdale, close to the civic centre of High street, was used by the bush nursing and education departments to house their staff. Wyndham Street includes the Catholic Church, Presbytery and Hall and several houses. Collins Street has the former Post Office and at the Collins Street and Murradoc Road intersection there is the Drysdale Hotel.
