Fact Sheet 5 – Heritage Restoration and Adaptive Reuse

The Built Environmental Plan seeks to
restore/adaptively reuse up to 7.65 hectares of heritage structures on RWA
strategic sites, including up to 6.7 hectares of rail heritage.

This approach aims to preserve the heritage and
industrial character of certain sites by ensuring new development responds
sensitively to significant heritage items, and encouraging adaptive re-use
where practical.
