The
DCP forms part of the comprehensive framework to preserve the heritage
character of City neighbourhoods and guide future development, including
protection for identified heritage items, streetscapes and conservation areas
in our Local Environment Plan (LEP). We continue to refine heritage controls
through ongoing research and consultation during completion of a new City Plan.
Following
public exhibition of the draft Heritage DCP last year, the plan was revised
with:
- amendments to the
introduction to clarify the requirements for development applications; - significant
readability improvements and more photographs and diagrams; - new chapter
introductions to help clarify the purpose of different sections; and - minor amendments to
correct spelling, formatting or grammatical errors.
In
contrast, industrial heritage is now threatened through the State Government
action on the Carlton and United Brewery site and the state owned Eveleigh
Railway workshops; with the Federal Government’s Productivity Commission’s
report recommending the introduction of voluntary heritage listings and limited
heritage impact assessments before development. For further information visit
