We recently completed the Carlton Heritage Review, the first comprehensive review of heritage in this area since the 1990s. The independent review looked at all places within the study area, and recommended heritage protection for 24 new places in addition to 52 heritage category changes.
A thematic history was developed that incorporates Carlton’s historical themes and material gathered through consultation with Traditional Custodians.
The suburb of Carlton is one of Melbourne’s oldest and most cherished neighbourhoods. Originally an extension to the Hoddle Grid lined with grand Victorian terraces, Carlton later became a diverse home to recently arrived immigrants, social housing, educational facilities and a range of world-class heritage and contemporary architecture. In addition to identifying specific buildings which require protection, the research and documentation of Carlton’s rich history and patterns of development was a central aim of the review.
The Carlton Heritage Review is proposed to be implemented through interim controls (Amendments C404 and C445) and permanent controls (Amendment C405). Fifty-two places have been provided with interim heritage protection through Amendment C404 while permanent controls are being progressed through Amendment C405
Although not located within Carlton, Amendment C405 also includes reinstating heritage protection for the Punt Road Oval (East Melbourne) on a permanent basis. The Punt Road Oval had heritage protection from the 1980s but this was previously deleted from the planning scheme inventory in error. Interim protection for the site currently applies.
