                    Do you own a heritage property in Melbourne? Read our new Heritage Owner’s Guide and Heritage Design Guide.

                    Our Heritage Design Guide and Heritage Owner’s Guide aim to help owners of heritage properties in the City of Melbourne understand heritage planning and policy.

                    The Heritage Design Guide assists architects, developers and property owners to better use and understand our heritage policies when adapting or developing heritage properties. 

                    The Heritage Owner’s Guide includes information on why protecting our heritage matters, the planning mechanisms in place to protect heritage, and how to apply for planning permits.  

                    Earlier in the year we engaged owners of heritage properties, planners, heritage and urban design professionals to ensure the guides were clear and user-friendly.
