We have reviewed our local heritage places and drafted a Local Heritage Survey and Amended Heritage List.

Background

The Heritage Act 2018 requires local government authorities in Western Australia to survey all heritage places and to periodically update that survey.

The Municipal Heritage Inventory (MHI) provides statutory protection for heritage places. It is a document that records places in Vincent that have cultural heritage value and explains why these places are special.

In 2024, we undertook a review of Local Heritage Places and asked the community to nominate properties and places they felt worthy of inclusion, to help us better understand and celebrate the places which contribute to the history of Vincent.

These could include archeological remains, buildings, structures and land, as well as gardens, man-made parks and trees with cultural heritage significance.

At the 13 May 2025 meeting, Council endorsed the draft Local Heritage Survey and amended Heritage List for the purposes of community consultation.

Project details

Local Heritage Survey

The Local Heritage Survey (LHS) is a record of places which, in the opinion of the City are, or may become, of cultural heritage significance to the local community.

Unlike the heritage list (see below), if a place appears on the LHS, there is no change to the normal development processes and requirements as the LHS does not have statutory implications for planning and development.

The draft LHS can be viewed in the Documents section to right of this page. Please note, due to the size of this document, it is available to view in three sections:

  • Draft Local Heritage Survey 2024 - includes the Thematic History, and everything except the Place Records.
  • Heritage Place Record Forms (1 of 2) - individual listings.
  • Heritage Place Record Forms (2 of 2) - individual listings.

There are 15 new place nominations from members of the community and the City’s heritage consultant. These include:

Heritage List

City of Vincent’s Heritage List exists in accordance with the Planning and Development (Local Planning Schemes) Regulations 2015 and provides statutory protection for heritage protected places.

The amended Heritage List has consolidated into one document, and recategorised, places, currently included in the City’s Municipal Heritage Inventory and the Central Perth Heritage Inventory.

This consolidation and recategorisation is administrative only. All places included on the Heritage List would continue to retain statutory protection, irrespective of the management category.

The Amended Heritage List can be viewed in the Documents section to the right of this page.
