We understand the importance of protecting and celebrating the heritage and character of Glen Eira.
Heritage next steps
To support this, a number of heritage projects have been undertaken over recent years, are currently underway, or are planned for the coming years to identify and protect heritage places. A heritage place can be a site, a building, a group of buildings, a structure, a garden, or a place of natural or cultural significance.
These heritage projects have generally been identified through the 2018 Planning Scheme Review Work Plan, or the earlier 2016 Work Plan.
