What makes good design in heritage areas?
New design to heritage place e.g rear extensions, solar panels are encouraged when they are sensitive to the cultural significance of a place.
The conservation of our built heritage can often rely on reuse, renewal and extension of buildings.
Places of cultural heritage significance are protected by inclusion in the Victorian Heritage Register or Heritage Overlays (HO) managed by local governments.
Being in a Heritage Overlay or on the Victorian Heritage Register does not put a full stop on the potential of a building for new development.
