Objectives<br />

1 To conserve items of<br />

historical, scientific,<br />

cultural, social,<br />

archaeological,<br />

architectural, natural or<br />

aesthetic value.<br />

2 To enable the viable<br />

adaptive reuse of Heritage<br />

Items, and their integration<br />

into the physical, cultural<br />

and economic life of the<br />

area.<br />

3 To encourage the<br />

restoration of Heritage<br />

Items.<br />

4 To ensure that car parking<br />

facilities do not have any<br />

adverse visual impact<br />

upon Heritage Items.<br />

Controls<br />

Development to a Heritage Item<br />

1 The external building features of a Heritage Item, are to be<br />

conserved where possible. The interior spaces and internal fabric of<br />

Heritage Items are to be retained where they are significant.<br />

2 Additions to Heritage Items must include detailing, finishes and<br />

materials, that are sympathetic to the item.<br />

3 The scale of additions and alterations to a Heritage Item must<br />

respect the existing ridge and eaves heights.<br />

4 Extensions, alterations and additions must be located at the rear or<br />

side of the building to maintain the streetscape integrity.<br />

5 Extensions must not visually dominate or compete with the original<br />

scale of the existing buildings to which they are added.<br />

6 To ensure the conservation of the Heritage Item, the adaptive reuse<br />

of an Item is possible. Substantial alteration of the Heritage Item is<br />

generally not supported.<br />

7 Development involving adaptive reuse of a Heritage Item may<br />

require the preparation of a Heritage Conservation Management<br />

Plan (CMP) to guide change.<br />

8 Gardens, garden structures, landscaping and vegetation which<br />

contribute to the significance of a Heritage Item are to be conserved.<br />

9 Subdivision of a Heritage Item will only be supported where:<br />

i) evidence of the original and significant setting, landscape and<br />

subdivision pattern can be recognised and/or retained; and<br />

ii) the subdivision does not adversely affect the cultural significance<br />

of the Heritage Item.<br />

10 All car parking must be at least 1.5m behind the existing building<br />

line.<br />

11 Re-arrangement of vehicular access and car parking, must not<br />

dominate the principal elevations of Heritage Item.<br />
