The precinct is important as a rare, substantial, cohesive and intact group of government-designed early twentieth century timber workers' cottages, which were relocated in 1964 to an area laid out according to the Garden City principles in the 1950s.
Marginata Crescent Precinct, Dwellingup is a precinct of timber weatherboard and iron cottages laid out according to Garden city planning and including landscape elements and remnant bushland,
The housing precinct was wholey relocated from Bansiadale Mill Town in 1964 following a fire which destroyed its mill. The relocated buildings were sited in Dwellingup in concentric and radiating rings, which aligned with the principles of the Garden City Movement.
Marginata Crescent Precinct is in very good condition for its age and the type of construction evident. Generally the individual elements show particular care and attention is given to maintenance and presentation of the buildings and gardens. The buildings, outbuildings and fences on Marginata Crescent, in particular, are in a good condition, having been refurbished on relocation from Banksiadale Mill in 1964/5. The bushland areas on R44749 and UCL332 appear in good condition.
