Mt Victoria Heritage Study
In 2016 and 2017, the Council undertook a study to gain an understanding of what typifies the historic character of our suburb and how, for example, the buildings in Mount Victoria differ from houses in other parts of the city.
The results of that study are now available. They include an overview, with maps and in-depth reports of seven areas considered to have high levels of historical interest and physical integrity. Each of these areas contains details of almost every house in each street and makes fascinating reading. Check it out if you have a property in …
- Armour Avenue

- Ellice Street
- Lower Hawker Street
- Moir Street
- Porritt Avenue
In addition, there are individual reports on 39 buildings of particular interest.

Victoria Bowling Club
Located at 125 Pirie Street, Mt Victoria, the club is sheltered by the lush flora of the town belt so that even the notorious Wellington winds find it hard to muscle in when the temperatures rise on the bowling greens. New members or older members returning are always welcome and Victoria is known as the club where the best compete, but a good time is never hard to find.
