That three (3) small Group Items (each group comprising two (2) sites that are alreadylisted individually as heritage items) be listed in recognition of the strong historic andaesthetic links between the buildings in each pair. These pairs are: Glenalvon andRichmond Villa; Braefield and Caversham; and the St David’s Presbyterian Church andManse (see Attachment 4).It is important to note that the current listing for the St John’s Church Group was also investigatedbut no changes to the current listing or curtilage are recommended. However, suggestions onhow to protect the setting of the Group through appropriate planning controls are made (seeAttachment 5).In addition, no existing heritage items have been recommended for removal from either the StateHeritage Register or from listing in Council’s Environmental Planning Instruments.The “Findings and Recommendations” section of this report (see below) is an extract of allrecommendations from the Heritage Study and Register Review, including the assessed heritagesignificance of the investigated potential items; a proposed schedule of heritage items forinclusion in the Campbelltown LEP; and tables identifying the items (existing and proposed)relevant to the specific recommendations of the Review. These specific recommendations arediscussed in more detail in the following sections of this report.Investigation of Potential Heritage ItemsA key element of the project was to investigate the heritage significance of a list of potentialheritage items. This list was based on places recommended by the Heritage Protection SubCommittee and through previous resolutions made by Council. The list is provided below.It is important to note that Council currently has a policy of not pursuing the investigation of thepotential heritage significance of properties in cases where the owner objects. Owners wereadvised of the proposed Heritage Study Review by letter in March 2009. Where objections werereceived, no further investigations of the properties concerned were undertaken.The following table provides a summary of the properties that were identified for investigation aspart of the Review, and the recommendations that have been made for each property.Potential Item Discussion RecommendationCampbelltown Scenic HillsThe Georges RiverSt Helens Park Historic DamsWater CanalBetter protection could be affordedthrough zoning rather than heritagelisting.Specific sites along the River have beenidentified as potential heritage items –Simmo’s Beach, The Woolwash, TheBasin, Frere’s Crossing and IngleburnWeir.Westgarth’s Dam (associated with StHelens Park House) is the only historicdam in St Helens Park.
