About the Roseberry Street heritage assessment
In July 2021, some of our community members lodged a nomination with Council to include Roseberry Street, Hawthorn East in the Heritage Overlay. We referred the community nomination and associated background information to Council’s heritage consultant, Context, for assessment.
Our heritage expert concluded that an extension of the Brickfields Environs Precinct to include properties on Roseberry Street in the Heritage Overlay could be facilitated by revising the existing Brickfields Environs Precinct heritage citation.
On 5 October 2022, the Urban Planning Delegated Committee (UPDC) considered the draft revised Brickfields Environs Precinct citation and officer recommendations. They resolved to proceed with including an extension of the Heritage Overlay into Roseberry Street, and to complete preliminary consultation.
Preliminary consultation ran from 14 November to 16 December 2022. Council officers and Council’s heritage consultant have reviewed the feedback received.
Current status - February 2023
On Monday 20 February 2023, the Urban Planning Delegated Committee (UPDC) considered a report on the outcomes of the preliminary consultation process for the Brickfields Environs Precinct Roseberry Street Extension study.
At the meeting, the UPDC resolved to:
- adopt the revised Brickfields Environs Precinct heritage citation as recommended by Council officers
- start the formal planning scheme amendment process to introduce the proposed changes into the Boroondara Planning Scheme.
Our officers will now seek authorisation from the Minister for Planning to prepare and exhibit a planning scheme amendment to introduce the proposed changes. There will be a further opportunity to have your say during the exhibition stage of the amendment process, and further updates and information will be provided as required.
You can access a copy of the meeting minutes and UPDC report as presented at the 20 February 2023 UPDC meeting, on our Council and Committee Meetings page.
