altering a number of existing heritage overlays (i.e. adding to and deleting propertiesfrom a precinct, altering the description or property grading).

All but two entries have external paint controls and three places have tree controls.

Explanatory Report - Melbourne Planning Scheme Amendment C207 Page 8 of 10

includes in the Schedule to Clause 81.01 as an incorporated document, the ArdenMacaulay Heritage Review 2012: Statements of Significance, so that these statementsare considered when making decisions relating to individually significant buildings and toprecincts; and

updates in the Schedule to Clause 81.01 the Heritage Places Inventory, so that theindividual building gradings proposed in the Review, are considered when makingdecisions relating to any of the places which are the subject of this Amendment.

Strategic assessment of the amendment

Why is the amendment required?

The Arden Macaulay Structure Plan 2012 (“the Structure Plan”) includes a strategy tointegrate the heritage of Arden Macaulay with the redevelopment potential of the precinct.The Structure Plan includes an action to undertake a review of the existing heritageoverlay and grading controls to ensure that the heritage qualities of Arden Macaulay areidentified and protected.

The Review identifies sites and precincts in the Structure Plan area that have heritagesignificance.

This amendment seeks to implement the recommendations of the Review. Inclusion ofadditional individual places and precincts into the Heritage Overlay, along with boundarychanges to some existing precincts and updating information in the Schedule to theHeritage Overlay, is all appropriate to recognise the heritage significance of these places.

Additionally, the removal of places from the heritage overlay is also appropriate as theseplaces have been demolished, altered beyond recognition or included in another heritageoverlay.

How does the amendment implement the objectives of planning in Victoria?

By including buildings of historic and aesthetic significance in the Heritage Overlay, theproposed amendment implements the following objective under Section 4 of the Planningand Environment Act 1987:

(d) to conserve and enhance those buildings, areas or other places which are ofscientific, aesthetic, architectural or historical interest, or otherwise of specialcultural value

How does the amendment address the environmental effects and anyrelevant social and economic effects?

The amendment is not expected to have any economic or environmental impacts. Theamendment will have positive social effects by recognising building fabric that representsthe layers of development in the North and West Melbourne and Kensington area.Heritage places also add character, appeal and interest to our city. Respect for ourcultural heritage involves retaining and managing places that have importance to us asthe community. The inclusion of new places in the Heritage Overlay will ensure theconservation of Melbourne’s history for present and future generations.

Does the amendment address relevant bushfire risk?

The amendment applies to North and West Melbourne and Kensington, within GreaterMetropolitan Melbourne therefore there is little to no risk of a bushfire even occurring andthe changes will not increase bushfire risk.

Does the amendment comply with the requirements of any Minister’sDirection applicable to the amendment?

Explanatory Report - Melbourne Planning Scheme Amendment C207 Page 9 of 10

The amendment is consistent with the Ministerial Direction on the Form and Content ofPlanning Schemes under section 7(5) of the Act.

The amendment complies with Ministerial Direction No.9 – Metropolitan Strategy. Thefollowing aspects of the Metropolitan Strategy are relevant to the amendment:

The amendment is consistent with and supports Direction 5, A great place to be andseeks to implement Policy 5.4 - Protect heritage places and values.

How does the amendment support or implement the State Planning PolicyFramework and any adopted State policy?

This amendment supports the objective of Clause 15.03 of the State Planning PolicyFramework to assist the conservation of places that have historical significance.

By including the identified places in the Heritage Overlay, Council will be fulfilling theState objective of identifying, conserving and protecting places of natural or cultural value.

How does the amendment support or implement the Local Planning PolicyFramework, and specifically the Municipal Strategic Statement?

This amendment supports the objectives and implements the strategies of Clause 21.05-1of the Municipal Strategic Statement by conserving places of identified cultural heritagesignificance. The amendment also supports the objectives of Clause 22.05 of the LocalPlanning Policy Framework, which seek to conserve, promote and protect places ofheritage value throughout the municipality.

Does the amendment make proper use of the Victoria Planning Provisions?

The Schedule to the Heritage Overlay is the proper Victorian Planning Provision tool forthe introduction of heritage controls over a place identified to be of heritage significance.The amendment addresses the requirements of the Planning Practice Note “Applying theHeritage Overlay, September 2012”.

This Practice Note states that places identified in local heritage studies should beincluded in the Heritage Overlay if the significance of the place can be established. Theidentification of heritage places using established criteria and documentation methods isan important consideration in proposing the inclusion of heritage places in the Schedule tothe Heritage Overlay.

For the community consultation on the Arden Macaulay Structure Plan 2012, Councilengaged comprehensively with residents, developers and those sectors of StateGovernment with property interest in the area. All relevant agencies have been madeaware of the Amendment.

Does the amendment address relevant requirements of the TransportIntegration Act 2010?

The amendment is not likely to have an impact on the transport system.

Resource and administrative costs

What impact will the new planning provisions have on the resource andadministrative costs of the responsible authority?

The inclusion of additional places within the Schedule to the Heritage Overlay maycontribute to a minor increase in the number of planning permit applications on an annualbasis.

Explanatory Report - Melbourne Planning Scheme Amendment C207 Page 10 of 10

However, this increase can be accommodated within existing resources. These resourceand administration costs will be off-set by a reduction in the need for individual responsesto the possible demolition of significant heritage places which are not currently includedwithin the Schedule to the Heritage Overlay.
