Heritage Study Stage IIB

The Greater Shepparton Heritage Study Stage IIB (HSIIB) was undertaken by Deborah Kemp, Heritage Consultant in 2009 and 2010.

This study identified gaps in the previous heritage studies and recommended a list of places of cultural heritage significance that should be considered as part of any future cultural heritage amendment. The study also makes recommendations for the conservation of places of post contact cultural heritage significance to Greater Shepparton City Council.

The result of the Greater Shepparton Heritage Study IIB is that a number of places are proposed for a future Heritage Amendment. These include:

• Individually significant places in Shepparton and Tatura
• It also proposes three new precincts:

1. Central Business Area Precinct
2. Macintosh Street Precinct
3. Tatura Township Precinct

The Greater Shepparton Heritage Study IIB Report consists of three volumes:

• Volume 1 containing a description of the key tasks and methodology used, a list of the properties proposed for inclusion in the Heritage Overlay, a list of properties for removal from the interim Heritage Overlay, proposed policies and planning permit exemptions and other recommendations
• Volume 2 containing a new and more extensive Thematic History of Tatura
• Volume 3 containing the detailed data sheets including the Statement of Significance for the individual items and precincts.

HSIIB was adopted by Council at the Ordinary Council Meeting on 21 September 2010. Amendment C110 to the Greater Shepparton Planning Scheme has been prepared to integrate the recommendations of HSIIB into the Planning Scheme. The amendment proposes the following:

• The policy within the MSS relating to places of cultural heritage significance has been revised in Clause 21.05,
• A number of properties are proposed for inclusion in the Heritage Overlay,
• A number of properties are being removed from the Heritage Overlay,
• The existing Schedule 43.01 in relation to external paint controls, tree control and heritage overlays where prohibited uses may be permitted have been revised,
• The amendment proposes to include the Greater Shepparton Heritage Incorporated Plan in the Planning Scheme, which will provide exemptions from the need for planning permits in certain circumstances,
• The proposed amendment has also reviewed the datasheets and mapping for Shepparton Residential North and South Precincts to make their form and content consistent with that now used in Heritage Victoria's HERMES (HERitage Management Electronic System) database.

Submissions on the amendment are accepted up to Friday, 25 May 2012.
