Planning and Environment Committee Meeting 5 April 2011 Page 832.7 Campbelltown Heritage Study And Register ReviewComment:This recommendation does not relate directly to the preparation of the new comprehensive LEPfor the Campbelltown LGA. Managing heritage items and ensuring that they are well maintainedis very important, however, it is a resource intensive process.All private owners of heritage items (located in the Campbelltown LGA) are invited to apply forfunding under Council’s Local Heritage Fund. Letters inviting applications are distributed onceper year, inviting owners to apply for up to $1500, which is provided on a dollar for dollar basisand reimbursed to the owner once the works have been satisfactorily completed. The number ofapplications received for each funding round has increased in recent years, and due to thisincreasing popularity, the Fund guidelines have been amended so that owners who receivefunding in one year cannot apply for funding in the following year – this is an attempt to ensure afairer and even spread of funding. The Sub Committee have previously considered amending theLocal Heritage Fund Guidelines to make applications for funding competitive, but resolved not topursue this option as it would be resource intensive and could mislead owners and thecommunity to believe that some local heritage items are valued as being more important thatothers.Epping Forest has been in a poor state of maintenance for many years. Council has no power toenforce minimum standards of repair at the local level, but the Heritage Branch should berequested to initiate action to prevent further deterioration of the heritage item.Suggested Recommendation:That Council:1. Continue to write annually to private owners of heritage items (within the CampbelltownLGA) to advise that they can apply for assistance under Council’s Local Heritage Fund.2. Liaise with the NSW Department of Planning’s Heritage Branch to ask that it write to theowners of Epping Forest to enforce the minimum standards for maintenance that apply toState listed heritage items.Recommendation 14: Local Heritage Management: Campbelltown City Council HeritageFundThe Heritage Study recommends that Council apply to the NSW Heritage Council in the nextavailable funding round, for matching funding of $5,000, to expand the Local Heritage Fund to$10,000 per annum.Comment:This recommendation does not relate directly to the preparation of the new comprehensive LEPfor the Campbelltown LGA, however, it is worthy of implementation. State level funding toaugment local heritage funds is not always available, but at the next available opportunity,Council should apply for funding, bearing in mind the possible administrative responsibilities thatmight be required if grant funding is received.Suggested Recommendation:That Council investigate future opportunities for funding to augment the Local Heritage Fund, andthat application(s) be made to source this funding whenever funding is available.
