Revised Draft Heritage Study
Read the revised draft Post-War Modern Residential Heritage Study.
Bayside is home to many significant mid-century properties thanks to a concentration of innovative architects building in the years following World War II.
A Post-War Modern Residential Heritage Study has been compiled by independent specialists to identify and document places within Bayside which should be considered for heritage protection.
Council considered feedback from the preliminary consultation on this Study at its July 2022 meeting and resolved to remove 28 properties from inclusion in a heritage overlay. Minutes from the Council Meeting, including the full Council Resolution can be read here.
In addition, Council resolved to commence a Planning Scheme Amendment to apply a Heritage Overlay to the recommended places (with the deletion of 28 properties), and also request the Minister for Planning to apply interim controls to these places.
Council has written to the Planning Minister seeking authorisation to commence the planning scheme amendment to introduce a heritage overlay based on those properties identified in the Post-War Modern Residential Heritage Study, with the deletion of the 28 properties. In addition, a request for authorisation from the Minister for Planning has been sought to commence a planning scheme amendment to apply interim heritage controls to those properties identified, while the planning scheme process for permanent controls is in progress.
Council will be in contact with property owners once the Minister has responded to Council’s request to introduce heritage protection to the properties. The planning process for a Heritage Overlay has several steps in place to ensure property owner and stakeholder views are considered prior to the application of heritage protection. These steps include the appointment of an independent planning panel to hear submissions and make recommendations. You can find out more about this process in the timeline on this page.

Stage 1: Preparation of Draft Heritage Study February – December 2021
Council engages a heritage consultant.
Generally, assessment of places is undertaken on a step by step basis, starting with a preliminary assessment. This involves a documentation review and desktop fieldwork.
On-site fieldwork is undertaken - physical inspection of places helps identify properties that are worthy of further investigation.
From this, the heritage consultant is able to further assess places that may be of potential significance and prepare a Draft Heritage Study.
