Amendment Process

• Background

  Why is this amendment required?

  HO7 is a large precinct-based Heritage Overlay that applies to many properties within the St Kilda, Balaclava, Ripponlea and Elwood area and has not been holistically reviewed since its introduction in 2001.

  The Review of HO7 ensures that heritage controls in the Port Phillip Planning Scheme remain current and reflect best practice to assist in the conservation of heritage places. 

  The  proposed amendment is required to apply, update and remove the Heritage Overlay as recommended by the HO7 Review, revise the incorporated Port Phillip Heritage Review Volumes 1-6 (Exhibition Version) and associated maps (Heritage Policy Map and Neighbourhood Character Map) to reflect changes to property heritage gradings and existing citations as well as the introduction of citations for new properties. The citations and statements of significance have been updated, or prepared, consistent with the principles outlined in Planning Practice Note 1: Applying the Heritage Overlay.

• Next Steps

  Once Council's authorisation request is approved by the Minister for Planning, the next step in the amendment process is to prepare for and begin the exhibition process. 

  During the exhibition period members of the community can make a submission to Council about the proposed amendment.
