C192bays - Post-War Modern Residential Heritage Study

About Amendment C192bays

Planning Scheme Amendment C192bays proposes to partly implement recommendations of the City of Bayside - Post-War Modern Residential Heritage Study 2022 and introduce a Heritage Overlay to 59 proposed individual heritage places and 1 proposed group listing.

The amendment also seeks to include the City of Bayside - Post-War Modern Residential Heritage Study 2022 as a background document, and the Statement of Significance for respective places as incorporated documents within the Bayside Planning Scheme.

Land affected by the Amendment

The Amendment seeks to apply the Heritage Overlay to 59 proposed individual heritage places and 1 proposed group listing. The Heritage Overlay is proposed to be applied to the following places:

Why is the Amendment required?

Bayside has a rich history and heritage, which is highly valued by the Bayside community. Historic buildings, landscapes, places and objects all contribute to Bayside’s livability and character.

Protecting and celebrating these places is therefore a vital function of Council for current and future generations.

Amendment C192bays will ensure that post war modern residential properties are more equally represented in the heritage protection of the City of Bayside

Council considers the Heritage Overlay to be the appropriate planning mechanism to protect the heritage values of these properties as it requires a permit to be granted for building and works, including demolition, that could affect the significance of these places.

At what stage is the Amendment?

Council undertook public exhibition of Amendment C192bays from Thursday 7 September until Thursday 19 October 2023.

Council will now make a request to the Minister for Planning to appoint an independent Planning Panel to consider all submissions received, in accordance with Council’s 19 July 2022 meeting resolution. 

All submitters during the public exhibition period and Council will be provided an opportunity to present their case to the Panel. Submitters can present their submissions to the panel in person or have someone else (such as a consultant) present on their behalf.  

You can read more about planning panels and the panel hearing process via the Guide to planning panels webpage on the Department of Transport and Planning’s website.

Once a Panel has been appointed and a Panel Hearing has taken place, a Panel Report will be prepared and provided to Council outlining the Panel Chair(s) recommendations on the amendment. Council will make this Report publicly available to all submitters and the public, consider the panel’s report and its recommendations before deciding whether to adopt, abandon or adopt the amendment with changes. If Council adopts the amendment with or without changes, the amendment is then submitted to the Minister for Planning for consideration and decision. If Council abandons the amendment, the Minister will be informed of Council’s decision.

If you have made a submission, we will update you on the amendment’s progress. If you have chosen not make a submission but would like to receive notification of the amendment’s progress, you can subscribe to the amendment.
