Shenton Park Precinct Local Heritage Survey Review

The purpose of a Local Heritage Survey is to:

1. Identify and record places that are, or may become, of cultural heritage significance in its district; and
2. Assist the local government in making and implementing decisions that are in harmony with cultural heritage values; and
3. Provide a cultural and historical record of its district; and
4. Provide an accessible public record of places of cultural heritage significance to its district; and
5. Assist the local government in preparing a heritage list or list of heritage areas under a local planning scheme.

As part of the review process the City is seeking Expressions of Interest to join a Heritage Reference Group (HRG). The role of the group will be to:

• Provide a forum for open communication between the community and the City to identify and proactively manage any potential issues and opportunities that arise through the review process.
• Assist in establishing the consultation/engagement methodology with the wider community.
• Foster awareness and understanding of the project within the community.
• Encourage community nominations
• Review and provide feedback on the draft LHS

A maximum of 10 community members will be appointed to the HRG. This will be made up of interested persons with a good understanding of heritage and who live in or own property in the Shenton Park Precinct.

How can I apply?

To apply for the group, please submit an online expression of interest form. A hard copy expression of interest form and the Draft Terms of Reference for the Shenton Park heritage reference group (HRG) can be found in the project document library.

Answers to frequently answered questions can also be found in the project document library here.

Appointments to the HRG will be selected from the nominations by an evaluation panel made up of three City of Subiaco officers.
