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.
