Heritage Advisory Service
We have a qualified Heritage Advisor to give architectural and technical advice for heritage listed places within the City of Ballarat.
What type of heritage advice is provided?
Our Heritage Advisor will provide advice about:
- extent of any proposed demolition works
- new buildings in a heritage area
- modifications to existing heritage buildings
- the colours, design, materials and finishes of a building
- restoration and repair works
- heritage trees and landscaping
- any other relevant heritage matters as needed.
We will give advice about all relevant heritage considerations as well as any other planning matters that may need to be considered for the preparation of your application for a planning permit.
How can I access this service?
Pre-application meetings are currently not being offered whilst we implement improvements to the service. In the meantime, you can contact the planning officer on duty on 5320 5107.
