The Soudan Street Precinct is of local historic significance to Moreland City.
Historically, the Soudan Street precinct is significant as tangible evidence of the small degree of suburban development achieved in the rural areas of Coburg during the late 19th century land boom, but prior to the economic crash of the 1890s. This group of houses is particularly significant as an illustration of the extent to which speculative development occurred in areas that were relatively remote from transport and services.
