Amendment C222dare – Places of Worship Heritage

Council is proposing Planning Scheme Amendment C222dare to protect places of local heritage value. The Amendment proposes to apply the Heritage Overlay to seven places of worship significant to Darebin: 

  • Former Croxton Methodist Church, St Georges Road, Thornbury
  • Thornbury Church of Christ, 390-398 St Georges Road, Thornbury
  • Former Preston Church of Christ, 220 High Street, Preston
  • Omar Bin El Khattam Mosque, 88–92 Cramer Street, Preston
  • Former Northcote Congregational Church, 16–18 Martin Street, Thornbury
  • Holy Church of St George Greek Orthodox, 66 St David Street, Thornbury
  • Albanian Mosque, 111 Blake Street, Reservoir. 

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.
