Statement of Significance

The Park Street Heritage Area is significant for:
• The area helps to illustrate the early development of the suburb of Subiaco – noting that approximately 50% of the existing properties still provide clearly recognisable physical evidence of the nature of local development in the period c.1897-1905.
• The existing development within this area continues to represent the rapid development of the rising ground near public transport routes as a desirable ‘middle-class’ residential area during the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, and its consolidation through to the 1930s.
• The area is made up of a collection of aesthetically pleasing streetscapes with a strong heritage character. Unlike many other parts of Subiaco, the majority of properties continue to make some to considerable contribution to the traditional character of the associated streetscapes and have retained a medium to high level of authenticity.
• The defined period and nature of development within this area has resulted in a complementary palette of materials and design idioms, enlivened by a diversity of individual details.
• The area makes an important contribution to the sense of place and local identity of Subiaco (both on its own and in association with other Heritage Areas in the Triangle Precinct).
• The history of the subdivision and early sale of residential lots helps to illustrate the status of Western Australia (and Subiaco) as a place of opportunity during the gold rush era of the late nineteenth century – attracting significant interest and investment
