The State Planning Commission has released a series of draft Historic Area Statements and Character Area Statements to support the draft Planning and Design Code amendment for Phase Three councils (urban areas).

The State Planning Commission has prepared draft Historic Area Statements and Character Area Statements for Phase Three councils (urban areas) which were on consultation from 19 December 2019 to 28 February 2020.

Due to some incorrect mailing addresses, a small number of property owners were provided an additional two weeks to 13 March 2020 to ensure they had an appropriate amount of time to provide comment.

Historic Area Statements provide detail for areas affected by a Historic Area Overlay in the proposed Planning and Design Code.

Character Area Statements provide detail for areas affected by a Character Area Overlay in the proposed Planning and Design Code.
