The City of Melbourne is passionate about identifying and protecting the city's rich traditions, memories, places and objects. Our Heritage Strategy sets out Council’s commitment to the heritage of the city.
We're reviewing heritage in Carlton to better understand the area’s evolution of built and cultural heritage.
The review will uncover, document and celebrate heritage in the area. It will also assess existing heritage buildings and precincts.
The study area includes two distinct precincts: to the south of Grattan Street and to its north. It excludes the University of Melbourne precinct and the World Heritage site including the Exhibition Building, Carlton Gardens and the Melbourne Museum.
Places of Carlton
We invited the community to share treasured memories about Carlton to help us understand what people value about our city, and what qualities we need to retain as it grows.

- What is the Carlton Heritage Review?
The City of Melbourne’s current Carlton heritage information is based on a study completed in the late 1980s and needs to be reviewed.
The current project uses best practice for heritage assessments and will review all places – currently protected and unprotected by the planning scheme - within two defined areas to the north and south of Grattan Street, excluding Melbourne University and the Royal Exhibition Building and Carlton Gardens.
The consultants will make recommendations for changes to existing heritage places, new proposed heritage places that require protection, and any new precincts. We are actively seeking stories from the community about places they feel connected to. This will help us understand what is valued and what needs to be looked after in the future.
- How will you use the information I provide?
The stories submitted will help the City of Melbourne understand why Carlton is valued, and what qualities the community wish to keep as the suburb grows and changes.
