2.1 INCLUSION OF PLACES ON THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT INVENTORY AND HERITAGE LIST

Ward: (All Wards) (Strategic Planning)

Disclosure of Interest: Nil

Authorised Officer: (Executive Manager Planning and Development)

KEY ISSUES

• Local Government is required to compile and maintain an inventory of buildings within its district under Section 45 of the Heritage of Western Australia Act 1990 (the Act), which in its opinion are, or may become, of cultural heritage significance.

• Local Government is required, under Section 45(2) of the Act, to annually update its Local Government Inventory (LGI), and undertake a full review every four years after its completion.

• The City is required to maintain a Heritage List of places of particular heritage importance that are protected through Local Planning Scheme No.17.

• Each Heritage place on the Inventory is assigned a Heritage Management Category, and those in the two highest categories (Exceptional Significance and Considerable Significance) are automatically included on the City’s statutorily protected Heritage List. Heritage places remaining only on the Inventory have the status of a survey of heritage places.

• The implications of being on the Heritage List include that, for several types of development, places on the Heritage List are not considered to be ‘exempt’ from requiring planning permission and heritage consideration.

• The places for possible inclusion on the Local Government Inventory and Heritage List be advertised for a period of 30 days. A total of ten (10) submissions were received following the advertising period.

• Following the initial review of places, and consideration of submissions received, of the 14 places that have undergone review for inclusion on the Local Government Inventory and Heritage List, it is considered that two (2) places are of Exceptional Significance, five (5) places are of Considerable Significance, there are three (3) Significant places, and one (1) place of Some Significance. One place was not assessed, and two places were removed from consideration.

It is recommended that Council adopt the proposed changes to the Local Government Inventory and Heritage List, and inform property owners/occupiers, submitters, and State Heritage Council of its decision.


BACKGROUND

A Local Government Inventory (LGI) contains a list of places and structures which, in the opinion of the Local Government, are, or may become, of cultural heritage significance. Local Governments are required under Section 45 (2) of the Heritage of Western Australia Act 1990 to compile and maintain its LGI and in doing so undertake an annual review of places for inclusion, and a full review of all places on the LGI every 4 years.

The City is also required to maintain a Heritage List of places of particular heritage importance that are protected through Clause 7.1 of Local Planning Scheme No. 17. If a Heritage Place is assigned one of the top two (of four) heritage management categories then it is automatically included on the City’s Heritage List, which is statutorily protected.

The last full review of the City’s LGI was adopted by Council at an Ordinary Meeting of Council on 15 December 2010, and the next full review of the LGI and List is to be actioned as part of the City’s Heritage Strategic Plan 2013. However, annual reviews of places for inclusion are still required in the interim.

In February 2015 the City engaged a specialist heritage consultant (TPG Town Planning, Urban Design and Heritage) to review 14 places for possible inclusion in the LGI and Heritage List. Place records were compiled for each place, detailing the evidence provided for inclusion, the history of each place, assigned cultural heritage significance, and the reasons for its possible entry.

Elected Members were briefed on 26 August 2015 about the City’s intention to publicity advertise the inclusion of several places of heritage value to the City’s Local Government Inventory of Heritage Places and where applicable, the City’s Heritage List.

DETAILS

In February 2015, the City commenced with its first review of places for inclusion on the LGI by engaging heritage consultants (TPG Town Planning, Urban Design and Heritage) to review 14 places for inclusion. Of these 14 Places, seven were put forward at the request of landowners, three by City officers due to their State significance, one by the MRA, one by the Bullsbrook Residents and Ratepayers Association, one by the curator of Whiteman Park, and one by a ratepayer.

Four of the places are already on the LGI but have been reassessed at the request of City staff or property owners.

Research was undertaken by the heritage consultants including site inspections, meetings with landowners to investigate the history of the places, and their integrity, authenticity and condition, following which the consultant put forward recommended heritage management categories for each of the Places in question.

The recommendations of the consultant and accompanying information were advertised in several local newspapers, through relevant community groups, and directly to owners and occupiers of properties in question.


Ten (10) submissions were received in response to advertising and are summarised in the schedule of submissions attached. Several responses supported the recommendations, with several opposed. In particular, opposing responses related to:

• Requesting additional information;

• The inclusion of 171 George Street, West Swan on the Heritage List;

• The inclusion of properties at 39-49 North Street, Midland on the Heritage List;

• Restrictions on future development;

• Time given to arrange site visits;

• Financial implications for property owners as a result of inclusion on the Heritage List.

As a result of the submissions and negotiation with the heritage consultant some changes have been made to the original recommendations advertised.

171 George Street, West Swan

Due to the extensive alterations to the dwelling and property impacting the originality and authenticity of the place, the recommended Heritage Management Category has been reduced from ‘Considerable Significance’ to ‘Significant’.

This has been discussed with the property owner, and his concerns have been alleviated.

39-49 North Street, Midland

This place has been removed from consideration. Several owners/occupiers of these properties have strongly opposed the placing of the properties on the City’s Heritage List.

Given the level of opposition to the Listing, in addition to the precedent set in approving a Development Application including solar hot water panels of the front roof slope of Nos. 47 and 49 North Street, it is considered that the heritage contribution to the locality and streetscape is appropriately recorded on the Local Government Inventory. Additional protection under the Local Planning Scheme (Heritage List) is not warranted given the extensive front and rear alterations already undertaken.

Research undertaken on the properties will be retained, and it is recommended that the Heritage Management Category for the properties at 39-49 North Street is recorded as Significant (no change from current classification).

70 Railway Parade, Midland

The property at this address, the Commercial Tavern, has been removed from consideration.

It was proposed that the property be given a Heritage Management Category of Considerable Significance, resulting in the Commercial Tavern being placed on the City’s Heritage List.


Since the review was undertaken, the Metropolitan Redevelopment Authority has undertaken its own review into Heritage places within their boundaries. The MRA have used a slightly different hierarchy of Heritage Management Categories, and have proposed to give the Commercial Tavern a Heritage Management Category with a desired outcome similar to that proposed by the City. The City considers that since the MRA currently administers this area, that their Inventory will take preference and it is not necessary to follow through with the Heritage Listing of the Commercial Tavern.

Therefore, the final recommendations put forward by the heritage consultant are summarised in the table below:

Some significance

Recommendations by the heritage consultants considered that two (2) places are of ‘Exceptional Significance’, five (5) places are of ‘Considerable Significance’, three (3) ‘Significant’ places, and one (1) place of ‘Some Significance’.

Three of the places were reassessed, having been already adopted on the Local Government Inventory, with one of these being on the 2010 Heritage List.

In accordance with this current review it is recommended that eleven (11) places be included on the Local Government Inventory, eight (8) being new entries. In addition, seven (7) of the 11 places would also be included on the City’s Heritage List, with six (6) of these being new additions to the statutorily protected Heritage List.

The above recommendations should be read with the Place Record Forms for each of the places, attached.

CONSULTATION

Initially during the review of the 14 places the consultants notified, by letter, landowners and occupiers of all relevant places to be included, and engaged in dialogue where found to be necessary. The owner of 70 East Street was not contactable and the consultants had no means to confirm the history of the place.

On 1 September 2015, public consultation of the draft recommendations commenced with placement of notices in the Midland Reporter and Eastern Reporter and on 2 September 2015 in the Bullsbrook Gingin Advocate for a period of 30 days.

At the commencement of the advertising period landowners and occupiers were notified by letter explaining the review process and confirming that the property/place is proposed to be included in the revised LGI and/or Heritage List, and a copy of the Place Record included in the notification. The City invited comments or suggestions about inclusion of property/place on the LGI.

The Place Record Forms were available on the City’s website for public viewing during the advertising period.

A number of responses were received, both in support and opposition of the proposed recommendations. Consideration was given to submissions and changes to the initial recommendations have been explained above in the ‘Details’ section.

Significant alterationshave been undertaken at 43, 47, and 49, which aresympathetic to heritage values. Property at 45 hashad painting to alter the frontage, and is not inkeeping with the rest of the properties. Verge treeplanting is not consistent between the properties.No schemes are available to assist with heritageconservation maintenance, and heritage listingwould inhibit plans to renovate in a similar mannerto aforementioned properties.

Private Residence Object to the heritage listing ofNorth St properties

Significant development has occurred at thedwellings in question. Hot water systems are visiblefrom the street. Planning and building permissionwould be required for security screens on thefrontage of the dwellings. Costs for repairs andmaintenance would increase, becoming prohibitive.Heritage listing would affect future salespossibilities. Owners would not have bought if theyknew the properties would be heritage listed. Didnot receive sufficient time (5 days) for TPG to assessthe property for potential inclusion in the City ofSwan heritage list. Only limited information wasavailable on the City's website for owners on whatthe potential heritage listing involves andimplications in terms of additional requirementsand fees if listed.

Statement of Significance:

Olive Farm Cellars, South Guildford, comprising a c.1830 underground stone and renderlined cellar with timber roof supports (incl. some of the original c.1830 timbers), a bricklined well in the floor, and in situ archaeological deposits, situated between the south eastbank of the Swan River and Great Eastern Highway in South Guildford, has culturalheritage significance for the following reasons:

The place is rare as the earliest surviving physical fabric associated with the firstsuccessful wine production in the Swan River Colony, an industry which continuesto be an important part of Western Australia’s economy and identity, and the siteof the first market garden;

The intact well, and original dirt floor surface beneath the current concrete floor,are likely to contain in situ archaeological deposits dating to the early nineteenthcentury with the potential to provide important information about one of theearliest settlement phases in the State;

The place provides valuable information about the material conditions of earlysettlers and their attempts to establish profitable industries in the newlyestablished colony;

The place is associated with botanist Thomas Waters, an early settler andbusinessman, who was responsible for growing some of the colony’s earliest grapevines, producing the first wines, and for establishing the first market garden in theSwan River Colony; and,

The place is associated with three generations of the Yurisich family who ownedand operated the place as a successful winery since the 1930s.

West Bullsbrook Hall, a single storey brick and iron building constructed in 1904, with anextension in 1925, has cultural heritage significance for the following reasons:

The establishment of the place through community fund raising represents the optimismand community spirit of the early twentieth century, and its subsequent additions andchange of use indicate changing patterns of community life;

The place represents the practice in regional areas of adapting civic buildings forvarious uses over time, having originally been built as an Agricultural Hall, serving as atemporary school (1924), an RSL Hall (1940s), a CWA Hall (1963 2003) and for regularreligious services;

The building is an example of the trend for local communities, during the late nineteenthand early twentieth centuries, to construct public halls for community use with theassistance of the State Government 'Grant in Aid' Scheme;

It has historical associations with the early development of Bullsbrook and with earlypioneers of the district; and

The hall contributes to the community's sense of place, as it has remained in use as acommunity based facility associated with the working, social and recreational life of thelocal community since 1904.
