The main documents containing legislation and guidelines that influence Heritage Items and Conservation Areas have been gathered here for your convenience.
Willoughby Local Environmental Plan 1995
Part 7 of WLEP 1995 contains special provisions for heritage, which aim to conserve heritage, integrate conservation into the development process, involve the public in conservation, and insure that new development doesn’t have a detrimental effect on an area’s history.
Schedule 6 of WLEP 1995 identifies Heritage Items that are classified as being of State or Regional significance.
Schedule 7 identifies Heritage Items of local significance.
Sheet 14 is very helpful for Conservation Areas, and is available from the Help & Service Centre.
