i-Heritage

i-Heritage is the City of Melbourne's online database of heritage places.

The City of Melbourne has commissioned heritage studies since the early 1980s and now has an invaluable collection of heritage information for more than 8000 places within the municipality, which is available online.

The Council has the heritage data for all suburbs within the City of Melbourne.  The i-Heritage database provides a wide range of details on individual buildings including: 

• building grading; 
• architectural style; 
• heritage status; 
• notable features; 
• statements of significance; 
• historical information; 
• builder; and
• photograph of current building.

This heritage information has been transcribed from the original Conservation Studies and is useful for property owners, occupiers, architects, students and others who have an interest in heritage places.
