Heritage-listed buildings
Heritage-listed buildings are structures officially recognized for their historical, cultural, or architectural significance. This designation helps preserve important parts of a community’s history, architecture, or character. When a building is heritage-listed, any modifications or repairs usually need approval to maintain its special qualities and ensure its story is preserved for future generations. This protection aims to balance development with the conservation of important sites, keeping the unique identity of a place intact while allowing for some adaptive use and maintenance within established guidelines.
