Statement of Significance
The significance of the Garden City - Historic Area, Port Melbourne, is that it represents a unique experiment in the provision of low cost housing utilising the physical aspects (rather than social aspects) of the British Garden City movement. It occurred on the intitiative of the statutory authority; it was based on the development of a total housing estate, including dwellings; it was a subdivision based on the English Garden City suburb concept; its two -storyed housing was based on current (in the 1920's) English 'working man's' cottages and it involved experimentation with building technology. Garden City was influential on later State public housing policies as implemented through the Housing Commission of Victoria.
