  • Local Heritage List Review

    The Shire has commenced the process of reviewing its Heritage List (HL), which was first adopted in March 2016. The Shire's current HL can be found in the Document Library section of this site.

    The Planning and Development (Local Planning Scheme) Regulations 2015 require local governments to establish and maintain a heritage list to identify places in the district that are of cultural heritage significance and worthy of built heritage conservation.

    The HL relies on the Local Heritage Survey (LHS) to identify the most significant heritage places in the Shire that warrant protection. The draft (updated) HL will be prepared once the Shire's draft LHS has been adopted.

    Updates will be provided in the Latest News and Timeline sections of this site.
