Heritage DCP 2006
Recognising the city centre’s rich and diverse heritage value, the corresponding
Heritage DCP objectives are to:
Establish the framework for detailed heritage and conservation planning
Ensure applications to develop within heritage conservation areas or impact on
heritage items or streetscapes are assessed based on the heritage value of the
affected item and desired heritage outcomes.
The DCP sets out the information that must be included in a development
application. This includes a heritage impact statement, archaeological assessment
report (if required), conservation management plan and conservation management
strategy.
Again, whilst Roads and Maritime is not bound by the provisions of the DCP (refer
section 4.1.1) it is bound by the provisions of the Heritage Act 1997 (refer to
section 4.3.1). Consequently, a Non-Aboriginal heritage assessment has been
prepared in support of the REF (refer to section 6.3 and Appendix E). This
assessment confirms that the majority of the impacts would be minor adverse due to:
The proposal’s nature and scale
The fact that works would take place in a location where the roads and
footpaths have been previously modified
There would be no alteration to the vast majority of heritage items within the
study area.
