Wyndham City Council is looking for community’s feedback on Stage 2 of their Heritage Review.

The Wyndham Heritage Review is an important opportunity to protect places of local heritage significance and to celebrate the history of Wyndham.

Wyndham mayor Peter Maynard, said that heritage provides residents with important evidence as to how our community has evolved and developed over time.

“As a region with high growth, heritage is particularly important to Wyndham as a touchstone to the past and a key contributor to a strong sense of place in our communities,” said Cr Maynard.

“There are pressures on our special heritage places due to development and competing strategic objectives such as infrastructure provision and housing growth.

“Council must manage these pressures on our historical places, to ensure that amenity and the character of areas is retained and protected ensuring that any development is sensitive to identified heritage places.”

Residents of Wyndham are invited to share their knowledge on the 87 individual residential places and seven precincts which were identified in the Stage 1 Gap Study.
