Drysdale: houses, ground and history

Drysdale was an agricultural township until the 1950s, and its census population more than doubled in a decade, from 1,724 in 2001 to 3,774 in 2011. The Drysdale Heritage Area (HO1620) takes in the early subdivision around High Street, where Princess Street has older Victorian and Federation houses and some later bungalows. Get in touch and we'll refer you to a registered restumper.

Drysdale’s heritage area covers older houses on Princess Street and around High Street. If your home is inside HO1620, contact the City before any work starts; the heritage information sheet explains when external works need a planning permit. Raising a Victorian or Federation house, or changing how it looks, is the kind of work to ask about.

At Barrands Lane, a trapped low point, flood risk to neighbouring properties showed in heavy rain, and drainage upgrades there were finished in 2024. If your property holds water after a downpour, tell the restumper, as damp under the floor is worth checking. For a bigger job, ask the builder for the Notice of Cover, which shows the Home Warranty insurance they’ve arranged through the BPC. Have your address and a few notes about the signs ready, and we’ll refer you to a registered restumper who covers Drysdale.
