Please note, making a nomination does not guarantee that Council will support your request, or that the item will be included on the Heritage Schedule.
The heritage nomination process can take a long time; usually it involves extensive research and assessment by Council's heritage staff, a Planning Proposal process, multiple reports to Council, plus public exhibitions and notifications.
When looking at nominations, we give priority to items that:
- are likely to have local heritage significance
- are part of a class or type of items that is not well represented on the Heritage Schedule
- have the support of the owner for the nomination
- are at risk or under threat.
