About the Amendment
The City of Melbourne recently completed the Parkville Heritage Review, the first comprehensive review of heritage in this area since 1979.
The Parkville Heritage Review (the Review) aims to determine the level of significance of existing and potential heritage places within the Review area.
The key objectives of the Review were, in summary, to:
- Undertake a comprehensive review of heritage places and the precinct in the Review area, including Aboriginal and shared values.
- Prepare a thematic environmental history that explains how the Review area has developed, and how the historical themes of the area have shaped the development of buildings, structures, gardens and open space.
The key recommendations of the Review include 20 new individual places (ten places are already within a heritage overlay) as new individual Heritage Overlays and changes to the existing Parkville Heritage Precinct (HO4).
Current Status
The Parkville Heritage Review and its recommendations was supported by Future Melbourne Committee on 14 November 2023.
A request for authorisation of Amendment C444, along with a request for interim controls via Amendment C443, have been submitted to the Minister for Planning and are currently awaiting a decision.
