Design guides for heritage precincts

To assist owners of properties located within heritage precincts, Council has developed a series of design guides to ensure developments occur within manner sympathetic to their environment. The guides give a visual description of the precinct and provide ways of adapting and building properties in those areas.

The heritage precinct design guides were updated in August of 2023. The main purpose of the update was to align the design guides with heritage provisions as amended by Plan Change 29. Changes also resulted in the removal of irrelevant or outdated content and modifications to ensure consistency across the different design guides.
