Statement of Significance

Hassett's Estate with its range of 1920s-30s house styles, concrete roads, roadway plantations, and custom-made lighting, was one of the outstanding subdivisions of 1920s Camberwell and inspired much of the later building form, subdivision and street design for the suburb. Historically the estate exemplifies the high-quality estates of the eastern suburbs, many of which were designed around the new transport facilities provided by electric tramways.
