Heritage Strategy

The City of Melbourne’s Heritage Strategy sets out a plan to protect the city’s heritage buildings, places and objects. It has been developed to ensure the city's rich combination of traditions, memories, places and objects are identified and protected.

​​The current strategy outlines how we work with our key partners – the community, the Victorian Government and heritage groups – to ensure our story continues to be well understood, celebrated and protected. It helps sustain the diverse aspects of the city that are important to us, while leaving a legacy for future generations.
