13.01.2022 dot points Moule cottage 2/2 The Places of Significance Overlay Code seeks to ensure Places of Local Significance are conserved and encourages adaptive reuse ...so that cultural significance is retained; The Code specifies that any proposal to demolish a Place of Local Significance must be supported by a Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA), prepared in compliance with Planning Scheme Policy Places of Significance (PSP-PS). The application is supported by an HIA that is non-compliant with the provisions of the PSP PS; The HIA is non-compliant with PSP-PS, Section 2.2 Guidelines for preparing an impact assessment report, Clause (5), (a), (b), (c), in part (d), in part (e), (h), in part (i), (j); The HIA references an out of date PSP-PS, being SC6.13 PSP-PS; The landowner and the heritage consultant rely only on the MCU approval over the site and the cost of upgrading the building to justify demolition. No consideration has been given to the heritage value (or otherwise) of the building or looking at options for adaptive reuse; The Code and the Policy require the consideration of matters other than the cost of upgrading the building to justify demolition, non are provided; Moule cottage must be saved.

Whether you have direct and intimate experience with suicide or know someone or a family who has, show your support by chalking a message on the Stratford/Freshwater pedestrian- bike path this Saturday.
