The Victoria/Tasmania branch is delighted to present an online CPD event with a focus on progressing smaller projects for heritage places in our regions. Join our panellists for a considered discussion about the issues, including the challenges and opportunities. Book now!

Heritage work can often be small projects with small budgets that don’t extend to specialist heritage advice. Projects can include simple residential work including outbuildings or small commercial projects in township centres.

This upcoming webinar will help architects gain a better understanding of relevant issues for these projects and how to address them. The panel discussion is not intended to replace specialist heritage architectural advice. Instead, the aim is to enable an architect to appropriately consider satisfactory design responses based on controls and good heritage practice, and to prepare a planning permit application to address the decision guidelines of a heritage overlay.

Our panellists include ACA Vic/TAS Committee regional representative Brad Hooper (sole practitioner in Maldon) and experienced heritage architects Mick Moloney (from Ballarat-based Moloney Architects) and Anna Eaves (from Hobart-based MCA Architects). Our panel will bring all their skills, experience and knowledge to our discussion on the following topics:

• What is heritage?
• Related planning controls
• Working with local authorities
• Heritage practice
• Discussion of a worked hypothetical example to test understanding

The webinar will also feature a moderated Q&A. For more information on our speakers, please see below.

For this online discussion, a heritage place is considered one covered by a planning scheme overlay and which is on the Victorian Heritage Register, or that of another jurisdiction.
