Consultation has concluded

Project Introduction

A Local Heritage Survey lists places of cultural heritage significance within the City of Perth. A key objective of a Local Heritage Survey is providing an accessible public record that captures historical information. Inclusion of a place on the Local Heritage Survey does not have a statutory implication for planning and development.


Project Background

The City of Perth has recently reviewed our Local Heritage Survey. All local governments in Western Australia are required to undertake a Local Heritage Survey every 5 to 8 years. The Local Heritage Survey (previously known as the Municipal Heritage Inventory) is a guiding document describing places that have cultural heritage significance.

These places tell the story of the local government area. A heritage place can take many forms - buildings, parks, memorials, trees, landscapes and archaeological remains. Inclusion of a place on the Local Heritage Survey does not have a statutory implication for planning and development.

The City undertook community consultation between 1 April and 30 July 2021. Ratepayers were informed about the project via email and mailout. Seven engagement sessions aligned to neighbourhoods were held in May, June and July, which provided the community with a forum to submit information on places that are important, highlight gaps in the themes representing the City's heritage and reinforce the importance of places that are already listed. Eight nominations were received as a result of the engagement sessions.

The City engaged consultants to assess additional places, as well as the nominations received from the community.

Council approved the progression of the Local Heritage Survey to public notification at the Ordinary Council Meeting held on 28 June 2022.

The draft Local Heritage Survey submission period was extended until 30th November 2022.


Project Update

The Draft Local Heritage Survey was adopted at the Ordinary Council Meeting held on Tuesday 28 March 2023.
