Heritage Advisory Committee

Protecting the city’s heritage is the opening word in Council’s strategic plan vision: there is a strong commitment that Council will take steps to protect and recognise the City’s remaining built heritage at every opportunity. The City of Holdfast Bay’s built heritage is becoming increasingly important as pressure on our council to provide increased housing stock continues to grow.

In recognition of Council’s commitment, the Heritage Advisory Committee was established in 2025, in accordance with section 41 of the Local Government Act 1999, to provide advice on heritage matters and to support and partner with the Holdfast Bay community and government agencies on urban heritage matters.

The Heritage Advisory Committee’s initial focus will encompass buildings, precincts, places, and streetscapes that represent the city’s urban heritage. Its scope will be extended to include the city’s social heritage.

The meeting dates will be added once they have been scheduled.
