The draft changes refine boundaries and rules to better reflect the heritage of each property.
Open for feedback
We invite your feedback on the proposed changes.

Why we’re doing this
We’ve reviewed our heritage conservation areas. Proposed boundary changes aim to place sites in the most appropriate conservation area, correct mapping errors, remove buildings that detract from heritage significance and include more contributory buildings.
What we’re doing
The amendments mean 2 properties shift from one conservation area to another, adding 12 properties and removing 37.
We also propose changes to the controls for heritage conservation areas in our development control plan.
Next steps
We’ll consider all feedback and report the results to Council and the Central Sydney Planning Committee. If Council approves the planning proposal after public feedback, we’ll finalise the planning proposal to bring the new planning controls into effect.
