Heritage Issues:

CoM Carlton Heritage Study

To assist members to better understand the CoM Heritage Study and what it could mean to Carlton, your property and or your locality, the CRA planning group has compiled several relevant documents from which you should be able to do the following.

  • check the existing grading status of your property [and those in the immediate vicinity] and compare this grading with those that have been proposed in the city-wide heritage review,
  • see what this grading [proposed] may mean for your own property, and those that you value in the community, and
  • to be better equipped to judge the appropriateness of future proposals to demolish [in whole or in part] or carry out new works on existing heritage graded buildings.
  • enable you to contribute to the current consultative process with the CoM. [open from 17 September to 19 November]
