Newtown Heritage Study Review, July 2009 – Volume 1 Non significant buildings within heritage precincts are those that do not contribute to the significant development periods in the area or are of such low integrity/intactness that they do not meet the threshold for inclusion. These buildings also include recently constructed buildings. In general terms, buildings need to be of at least the “altered” integrity category to be assessed as being of contributory significance. 1.14 Levels of Significance: The values of A = State or National significance, B = Regional significance, C = Local significance, D = Contributory significance and Not Significant were used. The definitions for each significance value are: National Places that are considered significant to the nation. They meet the Criteria of the Register of the National Estate and the Criteria of the Heritage Council of Victoria, but most importantly, these places make an outstanding contribution to Australia's cultural heritage. State - A Places that are considered significant to the State of Victoria. They meet the Criteria of the Heritage Council of Victoria and the Criteria of the Register of the National Estate. Regional - B Places that are considered significant to the Geelong Region (within the boundaries of the City of Greater Geelong). They meet the Criteria of the Register of the National Estate. These places identify with the specific heritage values of the particular community/suburb. Local - C Places that are considered significant to a local area, (whether individually significant or as a contributor to the urban character and/or heritage value of the area). They meet the Criteria of the Register of the National Estate. These places identify with the specific heritage values of the particular community/suburb. Contributory - D Places that demonstrate the heritage values of the heritage area, but would fail to meet the threshold for heritage significance if located outside the heritage area. Not Significant Places considered not to have heritage significance. Prepared by City of Greater Geelong 31
