Local Heritage
The City's Local Heritage Survey contains information on a variety of places which are of local heritage significance to the City of South Perth. The list includes a range of public and private buildings and places including parks, houses, shops, churches, schools and monuments. Those places included on the Local Heritage Survey demonstrate the history of development of the City of South Perth and the stories of its community. The City’s vision is for these buildings and places to be protected, enhanced and celebrated.
In arriving at a decision as to whether or not a place should be included on the Local Heritage Survey, consideration is given to a range of criteria:
- Aesthetic value
- Historic value
- Scientific value
- Social value
- Rarity
- Representativeness
- Condition
- Integrity
- Authenticity.
If the building or place is considered to be of heritage significance it will be assigned a Management Category of either 1, 2, 3, or 4 with 1 being of exceptional significant and 4 being of little significance based on the assessment against the above criteria.
The Local Heritage Survey is created and maintained as a requirement of the Heritage Act 2018.
