Burwood Consolidated DCP Pt 4 - Appian Way Conservation Area
6.3 Heritage Related Material Required to be Provided with a
Development Application
For alterations and additions to an existing dwelling or demolition/erection of a structure
(other than a new dwelling house) within an existing developed allotment, the applicant shall
submit a “heritage impact statement”, as defined in the Glossary.
For works proposing demolition and/or erection of a new dwelling house, the applicant shall
submit a “heritage significance assessment” and “heritage impact statement”, as defined in
the Glossary.
Heritage assessments and statements are not required for minor works which do not
involve demolition, alterations and additions, or the erection of new dwellings.
The source of appropriate materials to be used for a development shall be identified, and
samples shall be provided upon submission of a development application.
6.4 Further Heritage Related Technical Information
Council’s Town Planners are available to provide additional information in relation to the
provisions of this DCP and to organise a formal pre-application meeting.
On receipt of such information, the Council’s Heritage Adviser should be consulted prior to
the lodgment of a development application, to discuss development options and to enable
the identification of heritage-related issues at an early stage in the development process.
For the preparation of either a conservation management plan, heritage statement or
heritage impact statement, as defined in the Glossary, it is necessary to engage a qualified
heritage consultant. Details of suitably qualified persons can be obtained from the Heritage
Office (NSW) or from Council’s Heritage Adviser. These plans and/or statements are to be
prepared in conformity with the NSW Heritage Office 2000 Manual, to ensure that the
heritage significance of any building or works is safeguarded, and new development is
appropriate within the context of the Conservation Area.
The Illustrated Burra Charter, published by the Australia ICOMOS in 1992 and based on the
1988 Charter graphically shows how the Charter has been used to care for many important
places. The most recent and only authorised version of the Burra Charter is that as adopted
in 1999 (which superseded the 1988 version).
