Heritage Incentive Policies

At the Council Meeting on the 22nd May 2018 two Heritage Incentive Policies were adopted for the benefit those owners whose properties are listed on the Municipal Inventory (MI).

The Refund of Planning Fees for Places of Heritage Significance Policy and the Heritage Advice for Owners of Places of Heritage Significance Policy are the two Heritage Incentive Policies adopted by Council. These documents can be found in the document library on this page.

These policies provide various benefits for property owners on the MI in terms of providing refunds of planning fees for developments that propose to conserve or improve the heritage aspects of a place and to provide heritage advice sessions with heritage professionals engaged by the City where the City will bear the cost of a maximum of five hours. The provisions and requirements of these benefits are explained within the policies.

The MI is a list of properties and places within our City with cultural heritage significance. It also provides details which describe why each listed property or place is special.
