STEP 4: PREPARE A WORKS SCHEDULE

TABLE 1 PLANNING PERMITS

It is a good idea to plan and budget for conservation works. If your building is in good condition, this might be a simple guide for general maintenance (see Section 8.0). If you are planning more substantial changes, you may need help from a heritage consultant, architect or builder to prepare a schedule of conservation works. This will usually identify the significant elements of a property that need to be repaired or restored. Tip for owners The Casey Heritage Restoration Fund may provide financial assistance in the preparation of a Schedule of Works.
