About the Amendment

Surf Coast Shire has prepared Amendment C150surf to the Surf Coast Planning Scheme to remove the Heritage Overlay (HO150) from 23 residential properties (see property addresses and map below) and the Council Reserve (16A Smith Street) in Winchelsea, as they do not have any heritage significance and the HO incorrectly applies.

The amendment does this by making a mapping correction and amending the Schedule to Clause 43.01 (Heritage Overlay).

What the Amendment does

The amendment proposes to amend Planning Scheme Map No. 8HO to remove HO150 from the identified properties above as they do not have any heritage significance. It also amends the Schedule to Clause 43.01 (Heritage Overlay) to correct the heritage place listing for HO150 to change the street address. Heritage Overlay (HO150) will continue to apply to 65 Main Street, Winchelsea (Lot 2) which contains the heritage building Balgownie.

The proposed correction will improve the operation of the planning scheme by removing the unnecessary requirement for planning permits for dwellings, and buildings and works.
