HERITAGE PLACE & PRECINCT CITATIONS

Background
The Mitchell Shire Stage Two Heritage Study (hereafter referred to as the 2006 Study)
prepared by Lorraine Huddle & Associates was completed in 2006. Following the
completion of the 2006 Study, the citations for heritage places and precincts of local
significance were transferred (either wholly or in part) into the Hermes heritage database.
Since the completion of the 2006 Study Mitchell Shire Council has undertaken two
further heritage reviews, which were carried out in 2009 and 2013 (see below).
As a consequence of the reviews new citations have been prepared for all the heritage
precincts and individual heritage places of local significance originally assessed by the 2006
Study. The new citations have been generated from the Hermes database place records
updated by the 2009 and 2013 reviews.

2009 Review
Context Pty Ltd was appointed to undertake a review of heritage precincts originally
assessed by the 2006 Study to be of local significance. The key tasks were:
• To review and update the statements of significance for the precincts and prepare new
statements of significance as required;
• To define the boundaries of the precinct, identify significant or contributory places,
and take photos as required;
• To prepare incorporated plans which contain design guidelines and permit exemptions;
A final report entitled Mitchell Shire Heritage Amendment, Review of heritage precincts was
submitted to Council in September 20091. This report sets out the approach and
methodology, key findings and recommendations of the precinct review. On the basis of
the report the relevant place records for the heritage precincts in the Hermes database were
updated as required, while new records were created for two new precincts, and several
individual places in accordance with the recommendations of the report.

At the same time the individual heritage places assessed by the 2006 Study to be of local
significance were reviewed by Council’s heritage adviser, Willys Keeble (who reviewed the
places generally in the southern part of the Shire), and heritage consultant Deborah Kemp
(who reviewed the places generally in the northern part of the Shire). The key tasks were:

• To review and update the statements of significance for the individual places and
prepare new statements of significance as required;
• To define the boundaries of the place that should be included in the Heritage Overlay,
identify significant or contributory elements, and take photos as required;
• To update the description or history, as required.
The individual citations were updated directly into the Hermes database, as required. A
final report was not prepared for the review of individual places.

2013 Review
The Mitchell Shire Stage 2 Heritage Study Review 2013 (the 2013 Review) was prepared by
Context Pty Ltd with David Helms. The 2013 Review assessed a number of places that
were partially assessed by the 2006 Study or identified as being of potential significance by
the Mitchell Shire Heritage Amendment, Review of heritage precincts report.

1 The report was updated in February and April 2010 and again in December 2012.

MITCHELL SHIRE HERITAGE STUDY AMENDMENT C56 FEBRUARY 2014

Introduction
This report contains the citations for individual places and precincts of local heritage
significance assessed by the 2006 Study, 2009 Review and 2013 Review.

It contains citations for all of the heritage places and precincts proposed for inclusion in
the heritage overlay by Amendment C56 to the Mitchell Planning Scheme.

NOTE: This report does not contain citations for individual places already included in the
heritage overlay, unless they were re-assessed by the 2006 Study, 2009 Review or 2013
Review.

Purpose
The heritage place citations provide a description of the history of the heritage place and
its surviving fabric (including buildings, trees, fences, etc.) and, on this basis, provide an
assessment of the significance of the place.

The purpose is to assist Council, property owners and managers and other key stakeholders
in making decisions about the future use, development or management of the place by
providing information about the significant heritage values that should be considered when
preparing a development application in accordance with the Mitchell Planning Scheme, or
whether a permit exemption may be considered.

How to use

Introduction
The citations are listed by locality. Precincts are listed first and include the precinct maps,
which show the Significant, Contributory and Non-contributory places within the
precinct.
The citations use a standard report layout provided by the Hermes Heritage Database. In
summary, the citations explain the reasons why the places are significant and provide
recommendations for future conservation and management. The information that will be
relevant to most users is included under the following headings:
• History
• Description
• Recommended management
• Statement of Significance
• Recommendations

NOTE: places of local significance within a precinct (referred as Significant places) will
usually have a separate citation and statement of significance, which should be considered
in addition to the precinct citation.

NOTE:
While every effort has been made to ensure that the information contained in the citations
is accurate, it is possible that more detailed investigation may reveal further information
about the significance of the place. For example, in most cases an internal inspection was
not made of buildings at the time of initial assessment. In the time since the place was first
assessed it is also possible that the condition of buildings or trees may have changed.

The information contained in the citation should therefore be reviewed at the time that it
is proposed to make changes to the property. This would likely require a more detailed
assessment of any significant or contributory element that is affected by any proposed
buildings or works.

HERITAGE PLACE & PRECINCT CITATIONS

History
This provides a history of place on the basis of the information available at the time of that
it was originally identified and assessed. It is not intended as a complete history of the
place, but rather an outline of the key events and influences that shaped its development.
For example, the history would not usually provide a description of all of the owners of a
place, but rather of those that were associated with key periods in its development, usually
when it was first constructed or established, and when key changes or improvements were
made. The extent of history depends on the availability of primary and secondary source
material about a place.

Description
This provides a description of all the surviving physical fabric (such as buildings, trees,
fences, etc.) that illustrates the history of the place and contributes to its significance. It
may also describe elements that are considered intrusive or non-contributory to
significance. Note: Further investigation may be required as outlined above.

Recommended management
This provides general conservation objectives and guidelines for buildings (and other
significant features) to ensure that future use, development and management of the place
or precinct is carried out in a manner that conserves (or minimises adverse impact upon)
its significance. In some cases specific guidelines are also provided

Statement of significance
The statement of significance is based upon the information known about a place
including its history and the surviving physical fabric that illustrates that history. On this
basis, it seeks to describe the principal reasons for the significance of the place and is
intended to be:

... a brief, pithy but comprehensive statement of all the ways in which the place is significant. It
should not just be a list of every conceivable reason for significance that the assessor can think up,
however, it must state clearly and unequivocally the major reasons why the place is important. It
must be supported by the presentation of sufficient evidence to justify the assessment judgement.
(Pearson & Sullivan, 1995)
The citations use the Heritage Victoria format of ‘What, How and Why’, as follows:

• What is significant? This includes a statement that describes the features or elements
that contribute to the significance of the place. It may also include a statement to
specify features that do not contribute to the significance of a place. Some citations may
also include a summary of the history of the place or precinct.

• How is it significant? This is a short statement that identifies the values – historic,
aesthetic, architectural, technical, scientific, social or spiritual – that are associated with
the place or precinct, and whether it is of local or State significance.

• Why is it significant? This provides statement/s for each or the values listed in ‘How’
with specific reference back to the features described in ‘What’. The statement/s
describe how the place or precinct is considered to meet relevant RNE criteria, which
are listed at the end of each statement.

Recommendations
This provides recommendations for inclusion to any statutory registers including:

• The Heritage Overlay (Clause 43.01) of the Mitchell Planning Scheme (Also shown as
PS on the front page of the citation below the image) and the specific controls (e.g.,
interior controls, tree controls etc.) that should apply in addition to the general HO
controls in Clause 43.01.
