Guidelines for Heritage Areas

Overview

The Guidelines for Heritage Areas is intended to complement the Guidelines for preparing a local planning policy for local heritage. These guidelines form two parts:

Part one - is a general guide which aims to help identify what constitutes a heritage area and how it fits within the local planning framework.

Part two - provides information for local government planners which aims to support a consistent approach to local planning policies adopted for heritage areas across Western Australia's local governments.
