About Amendment C174
Heritage places enrich our communities by providing a connection to our past. Moreland has a rich cultural heritage consisting of buildings, archaeological sites, monuments, trees, landscapes and other elements.
Council has a responsibility to identify and protect these heritage places for the benefit of current and future generations by including them in the Moreland Planning Scheme within a Heritage Overlay.
Amendment C174 proposes to apply the Heritage Overlay to a number of properties across the municipality in response to recommendations made within the Moreland Heritage Gap Study 2019 (PDF 3Mb). A heritage citation that describes why a property has heritage value has been prepared for all these properties and can be viewed at the Amendment C174: Heritage Document (Citation) page.
The Amendment also introduces an Incorporated Plan (PDF 39Mb) into the Moreland Planning Scheme that makes it easier for owners of heritage places to make minor changes to their property without needing planning permission. These minor changes are listed as exempt or not exempt in different circumstances. Works listed include:
Demolition of fences, garage doors, outbuildings and verandahs
Construction or extension of a garage, garage doors, carport, outbuilding, verandah, pergola, deck or fence
Construction or extension of a pool, spa and associated equipment
Installation of domestic services including air conditioners, cooling or heating systems, access ladders, hot water services and barbecues, downpipes, flues and water meters
Some repairs that change the appearance of the building
Painting unpainted surfaces and where external paint controls apply

What does Amendment C174 do?
Amendment C174 proposes to make the following changes to the Moreland Planning Scheme:
Apply a Heritage Overlay to 493 properties made up of 80 individual places, 4 heritage precincts, 3 serial listings and 10 precinct extensions. Each of these properties are classified as being significant, contributory or non-contributory.
Delete the Heritage Overlay from 3 places: 45 Waxman Parade Brunswick West, 136 Union Street Brunswick and trees along the north side of Glenroy Road between Logan Street and Cardinal Road
Introduce an Incorporated Plan (PDF 43Mb) into the Moreland Planning Scheme that will affect all places in a Heritage Overlay to exempt minor works from needing a planning permit.
Significant heritage place
Significant heritage places are of State, municipal or local cultural heritage significance that are individually important in their own right. The heritage place may be a stand alone property or grouped together (Serial Listing) as the properties share a common history and/or significance but which do not adjoin each other.
Contributory heritage place
Are places that contribute to the cultural heritage significance of a precinct. They are not considered to be individually important however when combined with other heritage places, they play an integral role in demonstrating the cultural heritage significance of a precinct.
Non-contributory heritage place
Are places within the heritage precinct that have no identifiable cultural heritage significance. They are included within the Heritage Overlay because any development on the place may impact on the cultural heritage significance of the precinct or adjacent ‘significant’ or ‘contributory’ heritage places.
Are a collection of sites that contribute to the significance of a broader area, with the sites being historically related or sharing a common characteristic. This can result in neighbourhoods, streets or sections of streets being included in a precinct.
Are made up of places that share a common history and/or significance but which do not adjoin each other and may be considered for treatment as a single heritage place.
