What is a Development Plan?
A Development Plan contains planning and development policies, indicates how an area should develop and is used to assess development applications.
What is a Development Plan Amendment?
A Development Plan Amendment (DPA) changes policy in the Development Plan to guide future development. A Council may initiate amendments, but the Minister for Planning is ultimately responsible for the content of the Plan.
What does it mean when a building is heritage listed?
When a building is heritage listed it means that any proposed additions or alterations must be assessed by Council with regard to its identified heritage values. It also means that funding is available for conservation works under Council’s Heritage Incentive Scheme.
You can find out more about heritage listings and funding on our website:
Why is Council seeking to designate these buildings as Local Heritage Places?
Preserving these
buildings will enable heritage conservation that contributes to the heritage
value and character of the area, while supporting the regeneration of the sites
by retaining the potential to accommodate the future needs of the respective
institutions and colleges.

The Minister will consider the matters raised and make the decision to either:
• approve the DPA;
• approve the DPA with changes;
• decline to approve the DPA; or
• divide the DPA into parts and approve, or decline to approve (each as appropriate)
Amendments approved by the Minister come into force on the day the approval is published in the Government Gazette. These amendments are then consolidated into the Development Plan which is then re-published.
The Minister’s final decision is subject to final review by the Environment, Resources and Development Committee of State Parliament.
