Historic Themes for City of Prospect

Project overview

Consultation is now closed.

Thank you to all who shared their valuable feedback.

City of Prospect is committed to safeguarding our city's unique character and historic places. As part of this effort, we're developing a Historic Thematic Framework which outlines the key historic themes that shaped Prospect, from its beginnings before European settlement to the present day.

Why is this important?

Under the Planning, Development and Infrastructure Act 2016, a Historic Thematic Framework is now a requirement for councils seeking new or increased heritage protections from the State Government. Council will use the framework to advocate for stronger heritage protections when proposing changes to the Planning and Design Code.

We have taken all your feedback onboard and made any necessary adjustments to the Draft Historic Thematic Framework and we are pleased to see our community and stakeholders generally supported the draft framework we developed.

The draft framework and a report with your feedback was endorsed by Council at the August Council Meeting.
