Statement of Significance
This Heritage Area demonstrates post first war twentieth century residential development in Geelong. It is dominated by Californian Bungalow style buildings with minimal inclusion of Edwardian timber villas. It also includes representative examples of State Bank Housing. The area contains a significant proportion of its original buildings which have undergone some alteration and is significant for its streetscape cohesion and integrity. Houses are typically modestly proportioned, single-storey and timber with minimal timber ornamentation. The streets are uniform widths and allotment subdivision is regularly spaced to include garden settings, nature strips, street planting and footpaths. Historically, the uniformity or cohesion of the area demonstrates Geelong's population growth and expanding middle-class.
