Statement of Significance
HO145 Maling Road Shopping Centre and Residential Environs, Canterbury
Maling Road Shopping Centre and Residential Environs, Canterbury, is an area of heritage
significance for the following reasons:
- The precinct is a comprehensive and architecturally notable illustration of the effect of
the railway's arrival in the Victorian era and the railway's further development around
WWI. This is expressed, in part, in the distinctive street pattern that runs axially from
the Canterbury Railway Station. It is also expressed in the well preserved residential
and commercial development which was largely complete by WWII.
- The Maling Road and Canterbury Road commercial strips demonstrate a high level of
architectural excellence, strong Victorian, Federation and interwar-era expression and
a high degree of visual cohesion. The Maling Road strip also contains individually
notable buildings that have a high degree of integrity and landmark value; the Post
Office (1908), the Canterbury Theatre (1912) and Malone's Hotel (1889).
- The place is a highly representative Victorian and Federation-era residential precinct
with individually notable houses. The precinct is interspersed with strong and well
preserved interwar elements that offer an historic and architectural contrast and create
streetscapes of high aesthetic interest.
- The precinct contains well preserved residential and commercial examples from the
1920s-30s, which reflects the premier status of Camberwell as an urban growth area
during that period.
- The precinct has an historic association with Terry & Oakden, the designers of the
original Claremont Park Estate and one of Victoria's most important architectural
firms, and other important architects of the time such as Ward and Carleton and
Ussher and Kemp.
- The precinct includes public landscaping elements such as asphalt paving, basalt
pitching, kerbs, channels and mature trees and garden plantings, some of which date
from the beginnings of the Claremont Park and Highfield Estates.
