Proposal to expand the Kings Road Heritage Area

Proposal to expand the Kings Road Heritage Area

The City of Subiaco is inviting submissions on a proposal to expand the Kings Road Heritage Area to include numbers 10-52 Hamersley Road, 25 and 28 Kings Road and 25 Francis Street, Subiaco.

The heritage assessment has identified that the majority of the properties proposed to be included in the heritage area have retained a medium to high level of authenticity and, as they form part of the original subdivision which included Kings Road, they warrant inclusion within an expanded Kings Road Heritage Area.

Each heritage area is required to have its own specific Local Planning Policy that outlines the boundaries of the heritage area, includes a statement of significance for the area and identifies the levels of contribution each place makes to the significance of the area. Local Planning Policy 3.13 – Kings Road Heritage Area (LPP 3.13) relates to the Kings Road Heritage Area and has been modified for the purposes of public advertising. The modifications have included the properties proposed to be included in the expanded heritage area and updates to reflect the proposed expanded heritage area. Some updates have also been made to ensure that the policy reflects recent changes to the planning framework. The complete schedule of modifications can be found here.

Should Council resolve to expand the Kings Road Heritage Area the management of heritage values in the expanded area will be achieved by the application of Local Planning Policy 3.4 - Development guidelines for residential heritage areas (LPP 3.4). This policy contains general provisions relating to demolition, subdivision, additions and alterations, new building development, front fences and off-street parking.
