We've been working to protect Wyndham's important heritage
In 2019, Council commenced a Heritage Review with the purpose of reviewing unprotected heritage places in the municipality.
The Wyndham Heritage Review, Stage 2: Residential Places and Precincts study assessed the 87 individual residential places and 7 precincts originally identified in the Wyndham Heritage Review Stage 1 Gap Study (adopted 29 June 2021), and provides recommendations for residential places and precincts that meet agreed heritage criteria and thresholds for heritage protection.
A total of 15 individual heritage places and 1 precinct were recommended for protection in the Heritage Overlay.
The Wyndham Heritage Review Stage 2: Residential Places and Precincts was adopted by Council on 25 June 2024.
