Statement of Significance

The Church and Municipal Reserve is of state historical, architectural and social significance. It forms the core of the Pentridge area, which was the first part of Coburg to be developed. The Pentridge Reserve is one of only a few such remaining reserves in Melbourne . All of the individual buildings are of significance: of particular note are the Anglican, Uniting and Roman Catholic church complexes, Coburg City Hall, and the two campuses of Coburg Primary School. It remains the focus of the Coburg, and, with the area around Brunswick Town Hall, one of the two historical civic hubs of the Moreland municipality.
