Conserving the unique heritage of our laneways


October 10, 2017

Planning Scheme Amendment C271 proposes to build on existing planning controls and protect significant heritage places in the Guildford and Hardware Laneways area.

The Amendment has been introduced after a recent study identified additional culturally significant heritage places within the area.

The study followed previous protection of the area through the Melbourne Planning Scheme via Design and Development Overlays, which apply height limits to buildings adjoining the laneways and existing individual Heritage Overlays. These existing planning controls have helped protect and reinforce the unique characteristics that make the area significant.

We invite you to review the amendment documents, attend an information night at Melbourne Town Hall on Wednesday 25 October and make a submission by 5pm on Thursday 23 November 2017.
