Latrobe Terrace Heritage Area

This area is distinguished by elite dwellings built for professional and business families. The area is in a prime location and is sited on a ridge with views to Corio Bay, and on travel routes to the south and west. The area has examples of nineteenth and twentieth century architectural styles. The buildings are of high quality, reflecting Geelong's regional importance and prosperity.

The area has a high retention of original housing stock, with excellent representative examples from early Victorian to the contemporary period. Typically, the houses are substantial and include the following characteristics; single or double storey buildings, of brick, timber or rendered materials, on sizeable blocks with generous proportions and street and boundary setbacks.

Its location as an entry to Newtown and the vistas to and from Geelong, give the area considerable visual and landmark importance.
