Submission on Melbourne Planning Scheme – Heritage Policy Review

By Planning
The review of the City of Melbourne heritage policy is about to enter the public phase that will in due course lead to an amendment of the current planning scheme.
The MSYRG committee has reviewed the draft policy and attached is our submission to Council.
We believe the draft is deficient in a number of ways and that the review does not go far enough to protect our remaining heritage areas.
Our submission discusses those deficiencies, sets out the additional work that is so essential and requests that this amendment to the planning scheme be postponed until this further work has been done.
Our submission to the City of Melbourne relating to the Heritage Policy review was lodged on 3rd March 2016 – Click on the link immediately below.

Purpose and background

1. The purpose of this report is to advise the Future Melbourne Committee of the outcomes of the Heritage Policies Review (HPR) and to seek the Committee’s endorsement to request the Minister for Planning’s authorisation to exhibit Melbourne Planning Scheme Amendment C258 Heritage Policies Review.
2. The HPR, together with the associated draft amendment C258, is  a 2015-16 Annual Plan initiative and addresses three actions in Council’s adopted Heritage Strategy 2013.
3. In July 2014, Council sought comments from the community on its discussion paper ‘Review of the Local Heritage Planning Policies in the Melbourne Planning Scheme.’ This work identified that the current heritage policies need updating, that statements of significance needed to be created for existing large
scale precincts and that the A to D grading system needs to be phased out.
