Planning FAQs - What does the Heritage Overlay mean for my property?

Answer

A Heritage Overlay (HO) is used to protect sites that have heritage value, meaning that individual buildings or whole precincts may be covered.

Common reasons for needing a planning permit in a Heritage Overlay, include:

  • subdivide or consolidate land
  • demolish or remove a building (including part of a building)
  • construct a building (including part of a building, or a fence)
  • externally alter a building
  • construct or carry out works
  • construct or display a sign
