Advertised Permit Applications

The Executive Director has requested that the following permit applications be publicly advertised.

Any person may lodge representation in respect of the application during the period of 14 days from the publication of the notice. All submissions will be treated as a public document. By providing a submission you consent to its release to third parties as required by the Executive Director, in order to assist with the decision making process. Please note that any written submission should clearly state the reasons for which it is being made. Signatories to petitions will not be considered as individual objectors.

When determining permit applications, under s73 of the Heritage Act(1995) the Executive Director must consider the extent to which the proposal affects the cultural heritage significance of the registered place. He must also consider the extent to which the application, if refused, would affect the reasonable or economic use of the registered place, or cause undue financial hardship to the owner in relation to that place. Matters such as change of use, car parking, or other planning issues are not able to be considered unless they would result in an adverse impact upon the significance of the registered place.

Submissions may be emailed to heritage.permits@dpcd.vic.gov.au or posted to Heritage Victoria, Level 4, 55 Collins St, Melbourne, VIC 3000.
