It is policy to:
- Encourage the restoration and/or reconstruction of heritage places.
- Ensure where there is to be reconstruction or restoration to any part of a significant building, or any visible part of a contributory building, that it be an authentic restoration or reconstruction process, or should not preclude such a process at a future date.
- Ensure where there is to be restoration or reconstruction of a building, it is based on evidence of what a building originally looked like by reference to elements of nearby identical buildings, other parts of the building or early photographs and plans.
Restoration
Restoration means returning a place to a known earlier state by removing accretions or later additions, or by reassembling existing elements. It is distinguished from reconstruction through not introducing new material.
