Statement of Significance
The Golf Links Estate, which occupies the former Riversdale Golf Club, was subdivided in
1927 and lots were offered for sale later that year. The first houses on the estate were built
in 1928 with the majority of the allotments built and occupied by 1938.
The Golf Links Estate, Camberwell, is an area of heritage significance for the following
reasons:
- The place is a particularly intact and notable collection of vernacular housing styles of
the late 1920s to the early 1940s, including interwar Mediterranean, Old English and
Californian Bungalow. It contains a significant number of Art-Deco and Moderne flavoured
houses that read as prototypes for the suburban vernacular that spread
around Australia after WWII.
-The place is a predominantly intact interwar landscape containing concrete roads,
landscaped medians with concrete lamp standards and mature street trees.
- The place demonstrates the successful influence of building controls during the
interwar and post-WWII period in terms of prescribed set backs and uniform material
usage to ensure a consistent visual quality.
-The housing types and styles physically demonstrate the appeal of Camberwell as one
of Melbourne's most fashionable new suburbs of the 1920s and into the 1930s and
1940s.
-The Estate is conspicuously predicated on a commuter-based city workforce, being
bounded by a tram route on one side and a railway on the other.
