The Places of Worship – Planning Scheme Amendment C222dare is now open to feedback from the community.
The Planning Scheme Amendment C222dare is about protecting places of local heritage value. The Amendment proposes to apply a Heritage Overlay to protect seven places of worship significant to Darebin.
The Heritage Overlay is a planning control that ensures new development is sensitive to a place’s identified heritage significance. This does not mean development is prohibited, rather it allows consideration of potential heritage impacts through a planning permit process.
Groups and community members who may be impacted or interested in this engagement are encouraged to lodge a formal submission to the planning scheme amendment so we can consider it as we plan next steps.
Submissions on the proposed Amendment C222dare will be accepted until 30 April 2026.
