The Parkville Heritage Review is the latest study in City of Melbourne’s rolling program of Heritage Reviews, which are being prepared to identify and protect the city's heritage places, buildings and objects.

The Parkville Heritage Review focuses on the area bounded by Park Street to the north, Royal Parade to the east, Flemington Road to the south, and Tullamarine Freeway to the west. Amendment C444 is currently on public exhibition. During this time, we invite you to share feedback on the proposed changes by making a submission.

This stage of consultation is open until Friday 31 October 2025.
