Wyndham City Council is inviting the community to have their say on the draft Heritage Citations Review, which aims to ensure the city’s heritage places are accurately documented and appropriately protected for future generations.
Community feedback will help Council refine the review and ensure the historical features and significance of Wyndham’s heritage places are correctly recorded.
Community consultation will run from Monday 9 November to Sunday 13 December 2026, with residents invited to provide feedback online and attend information sessions to learn more about the review and its recommendations.
Wyndham’s heritage extends beyond historic buildings to include the places, landmarks and landscapes that tell the story of the city. As the community grows and changes, keeping heritage protections accurate and up to date is essential to preserving these important places while supporting appropriate development.
The Heritage Citations Review forms part of Wyndham’s broader Heritage Review, which began in 2021, and updates previous heritage studies completed in 1997 and 2004.
The 92 heritage places included in the review are already protected through their existing inclusion in the Schedule to the Heritage Overlay. The review proposes a range of changes to improve the accuracy and effectiveness of heritage protections in the Wyndham Planning Scheme.
Recommendations include updating Heritage Overlay mapping, heritage place names and addresses, and reviewing controls relating to external painting, significant trees, outbuildings and fences.
The review also recommends introducing Design Guidelines and Permit Exemptions for the Carter Housing Estate Precinct (HO21).
