Over 180 places in Casey are controlled under heritage legislation (Casey’s Heritage Overlay). Of these, three are precincts and three are also included in the State heritage register. Casey’s heritage places encompass a wide range of familiar and historic landmarks. Each place reveals and safeguards the story of our past and its conservation enriches our present and future. Despite development pressures faced by one of the fastest growing municipalities within Victoria, the City of Casey respects its heritage and is committed to the conservation and enhancement of its heritage places as an investment in Casey’s character and appeal.
– plan for maintenance and building works to your heritage property (Section 2.0); – understand what feature and attributes of your property are heritage significant for heritage reasons (Section 3.0); – maintain your heritage property (Section 4.0); and – make changes, such as an extension or renovation (Section 5.0) This handbook should be understood as an introductory resource only and does not replace advice from specialists. As indicated below, key points of reference should be understood as the applicable legislation and best practice frameworks, including the Burra Charter.
