The City of Melbourne has recently completed a review of heritage buildings in the Hoddle Grid, the area laid out by surveyor Robert Hoddle in 1837, which remains the heart of Melbourne.
The Hoddle Grid Heritage Review undertaken by independent heritage consultants recommends 137 new individual places and five precincts be protected in the Melbourne Planning Scheme. The Review is to be implemented through Amendments C386 (Interim Controls) and C387 (Permanent Controls).
This is the most comprehensive heritage review of places in the Hoddle Grid since the 1990s, including a large postwar heritage component. Melburnians may be surprised that some of these buildings haven’t been granted heritage protection already. Many of these places were identified as important heritage places within previous heritage studies in 1985 and 1993.
