Historical Archaeology The predictive archaeological modelling has that there is only limited potential for historical archaeology to be present within the Arden station precinct. The project-wide protocols would apply in the event that any unknown site or relics are uncovered in the course of works. Precinct 4: Parkville Station Issues and Potential Impacts Historical cultural heritage impacts related to the proposed Parkville station precinct would occur at: Grattan Street, Barry Street and Royal Parade as a result of construction of the station box, entrances, ventilation structures, fire egress and public lifts University Square as a result of the establishment of a construction work site (site compounds/ laydown area) City Ford car yard (bound by Pelham Street, Berkeley Street and the Haymarket roundabout/ Elizabeth Street) as a result of the establishment of a construction work site. Figure Key heritage places at the proposed Parkville station precinct These works would interact with the following heritage places (see Figure Royal Parade (VHR H2198 and HO977 of the Melbourne Planning Scheme) is identified as being of historical, social and aesthetic significance to the State of Victoria. The extent of registration extends between Park Street in the north and Elizabeth Street to the south. Royal Parade is a major urban landscape characterised by a generous width and boulevard layout with service roads, grassed medians and English elm (Ulmus procera) avenues either side of a broad central carriageway. As noted in the Victorian Heritage Register statement of cultural heritage significance, historically it is important as the to Sydney’ and as the traditional approach to Melbourne from the ‘road north. It is aesthetically significant as it demonstrates the Beautiful’ ‘City design qualities and is one of Victoria’s finest boulevards, providing in ‘shade summer, autumn colour and sunlight penetration in winter’. Construction of Melbourne would require the removal of up to ten English elms, permanent changes to the arrangement and physical fabric of the medians and removal of parts of the pitched bluestone gutters. Six of the elms would be affected by changes to the functional road layout required for the proposed new tram superstop while four trees would be affected by
