Required for development proposals that may impact Aboriginal heritage items, sites, or cultural landscapes. These assessments identify potential impacts and recommend appropriate management measures in consultation with Traditional Owners and relevant Aboriginal Land Councils.
These reports are required as part of the development application documentation for developments that are within or would impact a heritage item (whether visually or physically), and within a heritage conservation area. The report describes the heritage significance of the place and its history, how the proposed development may or may not affect that significance, together with any management measures proposed to mitigate negative impacts to that significance.
Councils frequently require places to be recorded with drawings and photographs before alterations are permitted to heritage buildings and places. This requires a significant amount of photographic referencing which is then submitted to local authorities.
CMPs provide guidance as to how a heritage item should be conserved and maintained. Sometimes these are required to be submitted with a development application.
Heritage design advice can be provided to individuals and developers where a proposed development affects a heritage item.
