                    Understand heritage policy as it relates to street fabric and infrastructure.

                    ​It is policy to:

                    • Encourage street furniture, including shelters, seats, rubbish bins, bicycle racks, drinking fountains and the like, where it avoids:
                      • Impacts on views to significant or contributory places and contributory elements.
                      • ​Physical impacts on bluestone kerbs, channels and gutters, other historic street infrastructure, lanes and street tree plantings.
                    • Ensure works to existing historic street/lane fabric and infrastructure is carried out in a way that retains the original fabric, form and appearance.​
