Statement of Significance

Precinct statement of significance:

The ICI Housing Estate Heritage area is of State historical significance as one of the last industry- sponsored housing developments in the City of Brimbank, related to the post Second World War expansion of both the suburban areas and the ICI plastics and commercial explosives plants. The layout of the estate again reflects the underlying Garden City ideals which influences so much of the town planning in the region, and was probably its last manifestation until modern development. One of the most substantial company housing schemes to be undertaken in Victoria, though not as extensive as H.V. McKay's housing scheme at Sunshine, developed over a rather longer period of time.
