Heritage properties

Heritage items are listed on the State Heritage Register if the item is of State heritage significance, or in a Local Environmental Plan if the item is of local heritage significance. Narrandera Shire currently has 95 heritage items of local significance, and seven items of State significance.

Narrandera Shire Council currently engages the services of a consulting heritage advisor who visits monthly and provides a free service available to the public. This is achievable through the support of the Heritage Branch of the Office of the Environment and Heritage.

Email council to arrange an appointment with the heritage advisor for heritage related advice.

The NSW Office of the Environment and Heritage (OEH) is responsible for managing places of Aboriginal significance. Further information about Aboriginal heritage can be obtained at Aboriginal cultural heritage | Heritage | Environment and Heritage

What are the impacts of heritage listings?

Heritage listings keep heritage places and objects authentic, alive and useful.

Heritage listing does not stop all change or freeze a place in time as the point of listing is to recognise heritage value, not prevent adaptation to changing needs. It is possible to retain original features as well as modernising listed buildings and places.

Heritage listing provides improved access to heritage grants and advice from council's heritage advisor on how to make sympathetic changes.

The NSW Heritage Office Heritage Listing brochure(PDF, 2MB) has more information about the benefits of heritage listing.

 

How do I know if property is heritage listed?

Heritage listings are identified in Schedule 5 and the Heritage Map Series of the Narrandera Local Environmental Plan 2013.

If you wish to obtain written advice from council as to whether your property is heritage listed, or affected by any other planning matters, you should obtain a Section 10.7 (2) Planning Certificate from council.
