Statement of Significance

"Sunningdale" at 16 Old Warrandyte Road, Donvale is of regional significance. The garden is significant for its suitability for, and connection with, the house designed by well known architect Percy Meldrum. The general layout of the garden west of the house is intact, containing what appears to be a number of the mature trees and shrubs from its development. While some changes have occurred to the east of the site, these have not adversely impacted on the overall garden and its relationship with the house. The layout of the garden beds, their edging, and plantings, the driveway and central water feature are considered to be of significance to the site, with changes occurring to the eastern section in the 1970s. These however, are largely screened from view
