Heritage Overlay Guidelines
The Guidelines have been prepared to assist local government planners, heritage advisors and councillors in the assessment of planning permit applications under the Heritage Overlay (HO). They will also assist owners of Heritage Places and those preparing planning permit applications. In many cases councils have developed their own local heritage policies or guidelines, and these should continue to be applied.
This document can provide an additional resource and also assist those councils that are yet to develop local policies or guidelines, or are reviewing those that currently exist.
