The West Gate Service Stations Heritage Review 2024 (the Review) was recently completed by GJM Heritage. The Review identified the canopies of the West Gate Service Stations at 1 and 2 West Gate Freeway, Port Melbourne as being of local heritage significance and recommended their inclusion in the Heritage Overlay of the Melbourne Planning Scheme.

The Future Melbourne Committee considered submissions received for the Amendment C463: West Gate Service Stations Heritage Review on Tuesday 1 July 2025.

At this meeting, Council resolved to abandon the amendment in accordance with Section 23 (1) of the Planning and Environment Act, 1987, for the reasons that the application of Clause 43.01 (Heritage Overlay) and Clause 15.03-1L-02 (Heritage) would impose an unreasonable constraint on the land given the location is within a transport corridor of state significance and its strategic importance to the broader State Transport System.
