About the proposal

We are committed to the protection, conservation and enhancement of all heritage places in Boroondara.

Our heritage consultants have identified that Barrabool, at 508-510 Burke Road, Camberwell has local heritage significance and is worthy of protection. We need to amend the Boroondara Planning Scheme to apply a Heritage Overlay at this location.

Amendment C405boro proposes to apply a permanent Heritage Overlay to this place.

Feedback on Amendment C405boro is now closed. Council officers prepared a report on the outcomes of Exhibition which was considered by Councillors at a meeting of the Urban Planning Delegated Committee (UPDC) on 2 December 2024, which you can access here.

Councillors resolved to refer all submissions received during exhibition of Amendment C405boro to an independent Planning Panel for consideration.

The Planning Panel has released its report on Amendment C405boro. The report will be considered by Councillors at a future meeting of the Urban Planning Delegated Committee.

Planning Panel

The independent Panel appointed to consider submissions held a public hearing on 3 March 2025.

The Panel decision and report has been circulated to submitters and parties, and is available in the downloads section on this page.

Other relevant Panel documents are available for download below.
