1.0 Introduction

The Pyrenees Shire Council commissioned Authentic Heritage Services Pty Ltd to undertake a Heritage Precinct Study between December 2000 and December 2001. The study included the identification and preparation of 4 heritage precincts in 3 towns in the southern half of the Shire, together with the review and further development of 4 heritage precincts previously identified in the Avoca Shire/Pyrenees Shire Heritage Study by Wendy Jacobs and Karen Twigg.

This Pyrenees Heritage Precinct Policy Report represents the policy documentation for each of the 8 heritage precincts (heritage overlay areas) provided in the Heritage Study. Accompanying each of the heritage overlay precincts are precinct maps and lists of the individual and contributory significant places identified within each heritage precinct.

2.0 Heritage Precincts (Heritage Overlay Areas) Six of the eight heritage precincts developed in this study are largely comprised of rural townships. The seventh precinct is characterised by a significant historical cultural landscape and Church setting at Snake Valley, while the eighth precinct represents a significant police, church and school setting at Landsborough. The precincts are as follows:

1. Beaufort Heritage Precinct, Beaufort; 2. Waubra Heritage Precinct Waubra; 3. Snake Valley Heritage Precinct, Snake Valley; 4. Snake Valley Memorial Precinct, Snake Valley; 5. Avoca Township Precinct, Avoca; 6. Moonambel Township Precinct, Moonambel; 7. Landsborough Township Precinct, Landsborough; 8. Landsborough Camp Hill Precinct, Landsborough;

Individually Significant and Contributory Places A. Southern Half of the Pyrenees Shire Within the four heritage areas in the southern half of the Pyrenees Shire, a total of 91 potential* individually significant places and contributory places were identified. A breakdown of these places is as follows:

Heritage Precinct Potential* Individually Contributory Places Significant Places Beaufort 40 16 Waubra 13 4 Snake Valley 7 7 Snake Valley Memorial 4 0

* Places that on the basis of preliminary evaluation appear to be of individual heritage significance (having regard to the Burra Charter and Criteria for the Register of the National Estate). In some instances there is sufficient information currently available to establish a significant justification that heritage values exist. In other instances however, further research is necessary before a conclusive position is adopted. These places nevertheless would be at least of Contributory heritage value under the terms of the new Heritage Planning policies and controls. Dr David Rowe: Authentic Heritage Services Pty Ltd 4 Pyrenees Shire Heritage Precinct Policy Report: October 2002

B. Northern Half of the Pyrenees Shire Within the four heritage precincts in the northern half of the Pyrenees Shire, a total of 138 individually significant places and contributory places were identified. A breakdown of these places is as follows:

Heritage Precinct Individually Significant Contributory Places Places Avoca Township 36 66 Moonambel Township 8 4 Landsborough 7 10 Township Landsborough Camp 3 4 Hill

3.0 Precinct Evaluation Criteria The supporting basis included in the Pyrenees Shire Heritage Precinct Study was established according to the Heritage Criteria of the Register of the National Estate, as prescribed in the VPP Practice Note: Applying the Heritage Overlay. The written format and policy structure for these precincts was based on the draft Heritage Precincts for the Gumnut Planning Scheme, an example provided by Heritage Victoria. Further details of the evaluation criteria can be found in Section 6 of the Pyrenees Shire Heritage Precinct Study, volume 1.

Dr David Rowe: Authentic Heritage Services Pty Ltd 5 Pyrenees Shire Heritage Precinct Policy Report: October 2002

4.0 Heritage Precincts 4.1 Beaufort Heritage Precinct 4.1.1 Policy Basis The Beaufort Heritage Precinct policy applies to all land located within the heritage overlay schedule as HO502 and applies to all of the land delineated on the map included below in section 4.1.4. This map also identifies those places (buildings, works, objects and sites) which are either of individual heritage significance or contributory to the heritage significance of the precinct. The Pyrenees Shire Municipal Strategic Statement emphasizes the need to protect, conserve and enhance places of cultural significance.

The Beaufort Precinct is historically important in demonstrating the mixture of commercial, residential, and cultural land uses, which date from the first land sales of 1858, through to the 1920s and 1930s. The precinct therefore reflects both 19th and early 20th century commercial and residential streetscapes which although altered (and is under further threat of inappropriate alteration), still retain the essential rural township character of Beaufort.

The precinct is architecturally important for the single and double storey Victorian, Federation and interwar commercial buildings, constructed of horizontal weatherboard or rendered brick (on the street facade), with similarly constructed dominant parapets in front of gabled or hipped galvanised corrugated iron roofs, broadly-projecting skillion verandahs supported on timber columns, and a number of intact timber framed or copper framed shopfronts, with some having leadlight highlights.

The precinct is also architecturally important for its detached, single storey, horizontal weatherboard or rendered brick residential buildings, which have gabled or hipped roof forms clad predominantly in galvanised corrugated iron. Brick chimneys, timber framed, double hung windows and fences to a maximum height of 1300mm are other important qualities of the residential allotments.

The important architectural and aesthetic historic character is further enhanced by the cultural places, hotel buildings and landscapes. The landscape recreational sites - with their mature trees and grassed precincts (notably the Memorial Gardens, corner Havelock and Livingstone Streets, and the reserve of the Memorial Band Rotunda and Fire Station) - are significant foci in the town. The latter reserve is also visually connected to the Mechanics Institute and Free Library, and the Freemasons Hall. The interwar, two storey, rendered brick hotels throughout the precinct also assist in providing an appreciation of the historical development and architectural characteristics of the Beaufort precinct.

Dr David Rowe: Authentic Heritage Services Pty Ltd 6 Pyrenees Shire Heritage Precinct Policy Report: October 2002

4.1.2 Objectives · To ensure the retention and conservation of the individually significant and contributory Victorian, Federation and interwar commercial, residential and cultural buildings and places that demonstrate the historic significance of the precinct. The notable significant commercial streetscape qualities associated with these buildings include (but are not limited to) the broadly-projecting skillion verandahs (where verandahs are an early and/or significant part of the design); early, dominant timber and rendered brick parapets; extant early 20th century glazed tile shopfront walls; and the extant timber framed and copper metal framed shopfronts including the upper leadlight windows (Neill, Havelock and Lawrence Streets);

· To conserve and enhance the modest scale commercial, residential and cultural buildings within the Heritage precinct;

· To conserve and enhance the general uniformity of scale throughout the commercial allotments within Heritage Overlay precinct, including single and two storey height limit, regular alignment of shop fronts and verandahs;

· To conserve the retention of extant remnant bluestone channel in Havelock Street (near Neill Street);

· To conserve the uniformity of front and side setbacks and predominantly side driveways; building separation and subdivision and single storey heights throughout the residential allotments of the Heritage Overlay Precinct;

· To conserve the existing topography and widths of the streets within the Heritage Overlay Precinct;

· To promote and support the continuing commercial, residential and cultural use of the precinct;

· To conserve and enhance the significant urban foci (and views to the significant urban foci) in the precinct, including: the Memorial Band Rotunda; Fire Station, and Memorial Gardens;

· To conserve and enhance the important treelines along Havelock Street (in the Memorial Gardens and adjacent the Mechanics Institute); and the treelines visible within the precinct (the treeline along the east end of Pratt Street and the east and west ends of Neill Street), and the memorial Chestnut trees along the western end of Pratt Street. Replacement plantings should be restricted to these precincts;

4.1.3 Policy Exercising Discretion

It is policy to: · retain existing individually significant and contributory Victorian, Edwardian, and interwar or postwar commercial, residential or cultural places;

· encourage contemporary interpretation of traditional building design within commercial zones of the Precinct, which includes hipped and/or gable roof forms (with a pitch between 25 and 35 degrees); dominant parapets, broadly-projecting skillion verandahs and minimal detailing;

Dr David Rowe: Authentic Heritage Services Pty Ltd 7 Pyrenees Shire Heritage Precinct Policy Report: October 2002

· encourage the accurate reconstruction of Victorian and early 20th century commercial skillion verandahs where these have been removed and/or altered, including the skillion form, and timber columns;

· encourage the accurate reconstruction of traditional, Victorian and early 20th century commercial shopfronts, where these have been removed and/or altered. Thought should be given to the date of construction of the building and the shopfront style associated with the period. Factors may include (but are not limited to): the reinstatement of stall board and ingoes, and the use of timber window frames (or copper/metal frames if this construction was originally part of the fabric) and glazed wall tiles (for early twentieth century shopfronts);

· encourage contemporary interpretation of traditional building design for infill development within the residential allotments of the Precinct, which includes detached dwellings, hipped and/or gabled roofs, verandahs, and minimal detailing;

· encourage development which responds to the single and double storey height and proportions, form and bulk predominant in the buildings of the precinct;

· encourage the use of traditional construction materials for infill development which includes horizontal weatherboard or rendered brick wall construction, timber framed windows (residential buildings), timber framed windows, and non-zincalume sheet metal roofing;

· encourage appropriately proportioned signage, of complimentary designs and colours to the 19th and early 20th century commercial buildings in the precinct;

· encourage the location of signage on commercial buildings to shopfronts, verandah hoardings and building parapets;

· encourage the use of paint colours on buildings that are appropriate for the style and period of construction;

· encourage the use of appropriate fence types, designs and locations in residential areas which do not obscure the visibility of the place from the street;

· encourage the appropriate development, form and scale of garages and/or carports in residential areas, with a location at the rear of the existing and/or infill buildings;

· encourage garden plantings and design that compliment the period and style of the place (residential areas only);

· encourage the development of street furniture and associated fixtures that are sympathetic with the character of the streetscape, and where possible, are drawn from early photographs of the town;

· encourage the removal and appropriate relocation of the toilet block that currently interrupts the significant visual link between the Memorial Band Rotunda and the Memorial Gardens;

Where a permit is required for building alterations, new development or other works, it is policy to:

Dr David Rowe: Authentic Heritage Services Pty Ltd 8 Pyrenees Shire Heritage Precinct Policy Report: October 2002

· ensure that alterations and/or infill development draw on traditional architectural characteristics (including but not limited to):

- gabled and/or hipped roof forms;

- parapets on commercial buildings;

- broadly-projecting skillion verandahs (commercial buildings only);

- ground floor shopfronts (commercial buildings only);

· ensure that alterations and/or infill development employ traditional building materials including:

- horizontal weatherboard or rendered brick wall construction;

- non-zincalume corrugated sheet metal roof cladding;

- timber or rendered brick parapets (commercial buildings);

- timber framed windows and doors;

· ensure that the general design supports and enhances the heritage values of the precinct in terms of bulk, form, scale, height, style and setting;

· ensure that new fences are:

- appropriately designed and constructed to compliment the building and residential streetscape;

- no higher than 1300mm;

· ensure that signage is:

- appropriately located on shopfronts, parapets and verandah hoardings;

- of a design, form and colour that compliments the style of the building;

· ensure allotment configuration conforms to the following:

- The front alignment of the building should be equivalent to the front alignments of neighbouring buildings, or if these are different, the alignment may be between the those of neighbouring buildings;

- The side setbacks should be equivalent to neighbouring residential buildings within the Precinct;

For repairs to the bluestone channel:

· ensure that the repairs use bluestone construction;

· ensure that any proposed vehicle/pedestrian crossovers do not detract from the significance of this streetscape element;

For new concrete kerbs and channels: Dr David Rowe: Authentic Heritage Services Pty Ltd 9 Pyrenees Shire Heritage Precinct Policy Report: October 2002

· consideration should be given to constructing concrete kerbs and channels of a form, scale and pigment that is reflective of bluestone construction (see photo 1.14 as a guide for this type of work);

Performance measures It is policy to assess proposals against the following performance measures as appropriate:

· Existing individually significant and contributory Victorian, Edwardian, and interwar or postwar commercial, residential or cultural places should be retained;

· Building heights should be single or double storey only, and comply with the following:

- The highest point of the roof should not be greater than the highest adjacent significant building visually connected to it, whereby the height of the roof should not be greater than the main (overall), adjacent ridge line;

- The springing height of the roof should be equivalent to neighbouring buildings, or if these are different, the springing height may be between those of neighbouring buildings;

- The roof form and massing of the building should be drawn from the significant neighbouring buildings visually connected to it;

· New garages and/or carports should be located at the rear of existing and/or infill residential buildings;

· Existing significant visual connections, from existing thoroughfares and significant sites, particularly those views of the Memorial Band Rotunda, Fire Station and Memorial Gardens, and the treelines in Havelock, Neil and Pratt Streets should remain unobstructed and enhanced wherever possible;

· When required, street trees should be replaced with the same or an appropriate equivalent species (in Havelock, Neill and Pratt Streets);

Dr David Rowe: Authentic Heritage Services Pty Ltd 14 Pyrenees Shire Heritage Precinct Policy Report: October 2002

4.2 Snake Valley Heritage Precinct 4.2.1 Policy Basis The Snake Valley Heritage Precinct policy applies to all land located within the heritage overlay schedule as HO506 and applies to all of the land delineated on the map included below in section 4.2.4. This map also identifies those places (buildings, works, objects and sites) which are either of individual heritage significance or contributory to the heritage significance of the precinct. The Pyrenees Shire Municipal Strategic Statement emphasizes the need to protect, conserve and enhance places of cultural significance.

The township of Snake Valley was founded after the gold rush in 1857, and many timber shanties and other commercial buildings developed soon after. The township’s long history with gold mining spanned into the 1930s, and a legacy of these developments is the remnant buildings, structures and other features in the town today.

The Snake Valley Precinct is architecturally important for the few remaining single storey, predominantly horizontal weatherboard rudimentary Victorian, Edwardian and interwar Bungalow residential, commercial and cultural buildings that comprise the historical character of the township. The precinct is also architecturally important for the consistent gabled and/or hipped roof forms clad in galvanised corrugated iron, brick chimneys, timber framed double hung windows, and fences that are to a maximum height of 1300mm.

The historical development of the Snake Valley heritage precinct is further identified by the significant urban foci and landscapes. These significant features include the face brick St. Brigid’s Catholic Church and neighbouring open reserve in the centre of the township, together with the mature cypress trees behind the Church and at the south end of the Carngham Linton Road. One of the most important qualities of the precinct is the interrelationship between the town centre and the neighbouring agricultural and former mining industries, as denoted by the uninterrupted views to the farmlands and mullock heaps, and more closely within the town, to the shearing shed in Murray Street.

Dr David Rowe: Authentic Heritage Services Pty Ltd 20 Pyrenees Shire Heritage Precinct Policy Report: October 2002

4.3 Snake Valley Memorial Heritage Precinct 4.3.1 Policy Basis The Snake Valley Memorial Heritage Precinct policy applies to all land located within the heritage overlay schedule as HO507 and applies to all of the land delineated on the map included below in section 4.3.4. This map also identifies those places (buildings, works, objects and sites) which are of individual heritage significance. The Pyrenees Shire Municipal Strategic Statement emphasizes the need to protect, conserve and enhance places of cultural significance.

Part of the Snake Valley Memorial Heritage precinct was established in 1861 as a reserve for the Carngham Presbyterian Church, on Carngham Linton Road, to the north of Snake Valley. The imposing bluestone Presbyterian Church building (now Uniting Church building) was erected 1892, having been solely funded by and commemorated to Philip Russell, a local squatter. The Presbyterian Manse had also been erected in the previous year. With the huge losses of local men in the First World War, and with the arrival of the Rev. Foulkes-Parry, the most substantial Memorial Avenue of Golden Cypress trees was planted in 1918 on land that had previously been the unsightly location of gold mines, goarse and broom. A sculptured memorial was also erected as part of the Avenue.

The Snake Valley Memorial Heritage precinct is therefore aesthetically and architecturally important as a physical legacy of the developments of the Presbyterian Church and the local community with the construction of the imposing bluestone Victorian Free Decorated Gothic Church building; polychrome Victorian Italianate Manse; substantial mature three- rowed avenue of Golden Cypress trees; War Memorial sculpture and later bluestone Church hall.

The historical, aesthetic and architectural importance of the Heritage precinct is also identified by the significant foci and views. Both the Avenue of Honour and the imposing Church building (and particularly the spire) are significant foci in the local precinct, with uninterrupted views of these places from various locations within and outside the Heritage precinct. There are also uninterrupted views between the Church building and the Manse, and views from the Manse and Church to the Avenue of Honour. The importance of the Heritage precinct is also characterised by other landscaping features, notably the mature native and exotic trees in the Church and Manse grounds, and the original, lengthy cast iron pilastrade fence at the front of the Church boundary.

4.3.2 Objectives · To ensure the retention and conservation of the individually significant Avenue of Golden Cypress trees (in three rows) and Memorial Reserve; Carngham Uniting Church; Carngham Uniting Church Hall; former Presbyterian Manse; and War Memorial, as well as the mature trees within the Church grounds and the cast iron pilastrade Church fence;

· To conserve the landscaped front setbacks on the Carngham Uniting Church and former Presbyterian Manse sites;

· To conserve and enhance the uninterrupted views between the Carngham Uniting Church and the former Presbyterian Manse;

· To conserve and enhance the existing topography and width of Carngham Linton Road and associated grassed and gravel verges and open drain;

· To conserve and enhance the significant urban foci of the Avenue of Honour and the Carngham Uniting Church (particularly the spire);

Dr David Rowe: Authentic Heritage Services Pty Ltd 21 Pyrenees Shire Heritage Precinct Policy Report: October 2002

· To promote and support the continuing primarily religious, residential and commemorative use of the Heritage precinct;

4.3.3 Policy Exercising Discretion

It is policy to: · existing and intact culturally significant places (notably the Avenue of Golden Cypress trees and Reserve, Carngham Uniting Church and front fence, former Presbyterian Manse, War Memorial sculpture and Carngham Uniting Church hall) should be retained;

· discourage building developments between or in front of the Carngham Uniting Church and former Presbyterian Manse;

· encourage a modest scale for any new buildings immediately adjacent the Church and Manse sites (allowing the Church and Manse buildings to dominate);

· encourage contemporary interpretation of traditional building design with any new buildings immediately adjacent the Church and Manse sites, including detached forms, and hipped or gabled roofs (with a pitched between 25 and 35 degrees);

· encourage the use of traditional construction materials for any new buildings immediately adjacent the Church and Manse sites, including horizontal weatherboard or face of rendered brick wall construction, timber framed windows, brick chimneys and non- zincalume sheet metal roofing;

· encourage the use of paint colours on buildings that are appropriate for the style and period of construction;

· encourage the use of an appropriate fence type, design and location for any new fences along frontage of the former Presbyterian Manse site or adjacent to the Carngham Uniting Church and former Presbyterian Manse sites;

· encourage the development of street furniture and associated fixtures that are sympathetic with the character of the streetscape and the Heritage precinct;

Where a permit is required for building alterations or new development of other works, it is policy to:

4.4 Waubra Heritage Precinct

4.4.1 Policy Basis The Waubra Heritage Precinct policy applies to all land located within the heritage overlay schedule as HO508 and applies to all of the land delineated on the map included below in section 4.4.4. This map also identifies those places (buildings, works, objects and sites) which are either of individual heritage significance or contributory to the heritage significance of the precinct. The Pyrenees Shire Municipal Strategic Statement emphasizes the need to protect, conserve and enhance places of cultural significance.

The Waubra Heritage Precinct is historically important in demonstrating the major periods of development of the small township in the 1850s-1870s, and during the interwar years (1920s and 1930s). Although many original buildings have been demolished over time, the Heritage precinct still reflects the rural qualities as a community centre for the nearby surrounding farms.

The Waubra Heritage Precinct is therefore architecturally important for its few remaining 19th and early 20th century, intact buildings in a rural small scale township setting. St. David’s Uniting and Holy Trinity Anglican Churches and the former Wesleyan Chapel represent the earliest developments in the town of the 1860s period and the two former Churches are also significant foci. Another significant focus is the extant Springs Hotel that was rebuilt in 1870s, while the 1920s motor garage diagonally opposite dominates its site. Houses of the interwar period also contribute to the small scale rural character, which is further identified by the single storey height of the buildings, galvanised corrugated iron roof cladding (except for St. David’s and Holy Trinity Churches), horizontal weatherboard and face brick construction (except for St. David’s and Holy Trinity Churches), and timber framed windows. Substantial allotments contribute to the widely-spread nature of the town, while views to the large California Red Pine trees and other trees (near Holy Trinity Church and to the east of the Heritage precinct on the Sunraysia Highway), Hawthorn hedges and to the surrounding farms and hills enhance the rural qualities and low building density of the place.

4.4.2 Objectives · To ensure the retention and conservation of the individually significant and contributory significant Victorian and interwar buildings and places that demonstrate the historic significance and development of the Heritage precinct;

· To conserve the modest scale of buildings within the Heritage precinct, including the single storey height limit, building separation and detached buildings;

· To promote and support the continuing commercial, residential and cultural use of the Heritage precinct;

· To conserve the existing topography and widths of the streets within the Heritage precinct;

· To conserve the general uniformity of scale within Heritage Overlay Precinct, including the single storey height, and regular front setbacks;

· To conserve and enhance the significant urban foci (and views to the significant urban foci) in the Heritage precinct, including: the Springs Hotel, Holy Trinity Anglican Church and nearby pine trees (including the California Red Pine trees); and the row of cypress trees (west end of the Sunraysia Highway);

Dr David Rowe: Authentic Heritage Services Pty Ltd 27 Pyrenees Shire Heritage Precinct Policy Report: October 2002

· To conserve and enhance the important Hawthorn hedges on the north side of the Sunraysia Highway (opposite the Springs Hotel) and along Heffernan’s Lane nearby the motor garage;

· To conserve the remaining 19th century street furniture, notably the iron boot scrape outside the Springs Hotel;

4.4.3 Policy Exercising Discretion

It is policy to: · retain existing and intact culturally significant or contributory Victorian and interwar styled places within the Heritage precinct;

· encourage the use of traditional construction materials which includes horizontal weatherboard or face or rendered brick wall construction; timber framed windows, brick chimneys, and non-zincalume corrugated sheet metal roofing;

· encourage development which responds to the single storey height and modest proportions, form and bulk of most buildings in the precinct;

· encourage appropriately proportioned signage on commercial buildings, of complimentary design and colours to the style and period of the building;

· encourage the use of paint colours on buildings that are appropriate for the style and period of construction;

· encourage the use of appropriate fence types, designs and locations which do not obscure the visibility of the place from the street;

· encourage the appropriate development, form and scale of garages and/or carports precincts, with a location at the rear of the existing and/or infill buildings;

· encourage garden plantings and design that compliment the period and style of the place;

· encourage the development of street furniture and associated fixtures that are sympathetic with the character of the streetscape, and where possible, are influenced by early photographs of the town;

· encourage commercial and residential development that enhances the small scale nature of the town;

Where a permit is required for building alterations or new development of other works, it is policy to:

· ensure that alterations and/or infill development draw on traditional architectural characteristics including:

- hipped and gabled roof forms;

Dr David Rowe: Authentic Heritage Services Pty Ltd 28 Pyrenees Shire Heritage Precinct Policy Report: October 2002

- parapets on commercial buildings;

· ensure that alterations and/or infill development employ traditional building materials including:

- horizontal weatherboard, or face or rendered brick wall construction (depending on the construction of the significant place or places visually connected to the development);

- non-zincalume corrugated sheet metal roof cladding;

- timber or rendered brick parapets (commercial buildings);

- timber framed windows and doors;

· ensure that the general design of the alterations or infill design support and enhance the heritage values of the Heritage precinct in terms of bulk, form, scale, height, style and setting;

· ensure that new fences are:

- appropriately designed and constructed to compliment the building and streetscape;

- no higher than 1300mm;

· ensure that signage on commercial buildings is:

- appropriately located on shopfronts or parapets;

- of a design, form and colour that compliments the style of the building;

· ensure that allotment configuration conforms to the following:

- the front setbacks or alignment of the building should be equivalent to the front setbacks or alignments of neighbouring buildings, or if these are different, the setback or alignment may be between those of neighbouring buildings;

- the side setbacks should be equivalent to neighbouring buildings within the Heritage precinct;

For new concrete kerbs and channels:

Performance measures

It is policy to assess proposals against the following performance measures as appropriate:

· existing and intact culturally significant or contributory Victorian and interwar styled places within the Heritage precinct should be retained;

· building heights should be single storey only (or appear single storey if an attic storey is introduced), and comply with the following:

- The springing height of the roof should be equivalent to neighbouring buildings, or if these are different, the springing height may be between those of neighbouring buildings;

- The roof form and massing of the building should be drawn from the significant neighbouring buildings visually connected to it;

· new garages and/or carports should be located at the rear of existing and/or infill buildings;

· Existing significant visual connections, from existing thoroughfares and significant sites, particularly those views of the surrounding agricultural lands and hills, to St. John’s Catholic Church spire, and to the Springs Hotel and St. David’s Uniting and Holy Trinity Anglican Churches, should remain predominantly unobstructed and enhanced wherever possible;

· When required, significant trees should be replaced with the same or an appropriate equivalent species;

Decision Guidelines

It is policy that the responsible authority consider as appropriate:

4.5 Avoca Township Heritage Precinct

4.5.1 Policy Basis The Avoca Township Heritage Precinct policy applies to all land located within the heritage overlay schedule as HO501 and applies to all of the land delineated on the map included below in section 4.5.4. This map also identifies those places (buildings, works, objects and sites) which are either of individual heritage significance or contributory to the heritage significance of the precinct. The Pyrenees Shire Municipal Strategic Statement emphasizes the need to protect, conserve and enhance places of cultural significance.

The Avoca Township Heritage precinct is historically important in demonstrating the mixture of commercial, residential, and cultural land uses, which date from the goldrushes of the early 1850s, first land sales of 1854, through to the 1920s and 1930s. The Heritage precinct therefore reflects both 19th and early 20th century commercial and residential streetscapes which although altered (and is under further threat of inappropriate alteration and demolition), still retain the essential rural township character of Avoca.

The Heritage precinct is architecturally important for the single and double storey Victorian, Federation and interwar commercial buildings, constructed of horizontal weatherboard, brick or pressed metal, with similarly constructed dominant parapets in front of gabled or hipped galvanised corrugated iron roofs, broadly-projecting skillion verandahs supported on timber or cast iron columns with verandah hoardings, and a number of intact timber or copper framed shopfronts (some with leadlight highlights and glazed tile surrounds). Other commercial buildings, particularly those of the Victorian era, also have stylistic detailing and balconies consistent for the design of the building.

The Heritage precinct is also architecturally important for its detached, single storey, predominantly horizontal weatherboard houses, which have gabled or hipped roof forms clad in galvanised corrugated iron. Brick chimneys, timber framed windows, narrow or wide eaves, and decorative detailing (consistent of the Victorian, Federation or interwar Bungalow style of the house) are other significant qualities.

The important architectural and aesthetic historic character is further enhanced by the cultural places, notably the Churches and Schools. The Anglican, Uniting and Presbyterian Churches in Barnett and Rutherford Streets, together with the Avoca State School, former National School, and Masonic Hall are some of the significant urban foci that assist in providing a greater appreciation of the cultural developments in the town from the 19th century. The landscapes within the Heritage precinct also reflect the historical and cultural development of the township and contribute to the setting of the place. The wide median strip in High Street – with its row of substantial pine trees at the northern end, Lone Pine tree and War Memorial – is a particularly prominent and significant landscape and urban landmark. Other important landscapes include the treelines in Rutherford Street and along the Creek, and the prunus trees along the nature strips in High Street.

Dr David Rowe: Authentic Heritage Services Pty Ltd 33 Pyrenees Shire Heritage Precinct Policy Report: October 2002

4.5.2 Objectives · To ensure the conservation of the individually significant and contributory Victorian, Federation and interwar commercial, residential and cultural buildings and places that demonstrate the historic significance of the Heritage Overlay Precinct. The notable significant commercial streetscape qualities associated with these buildings include (but are not limited to) the broadly-projecting skillion verandahs (where verandahs are an early and/or significant part of the design); hipped or gabled roof forms; dominant timber and brick parapets; extant early 20th century glazed tile shopfront walls; and the extant timber framed and copper framed shopfronts including the upper leadlight windows. The notable significant residential streetscape qualities include (but are not limited to) single storey height, gabled and hipped roof forms, timber framed windows, front or side verandahs, brick chimneys, decorative detailing and regular front setbacks;

· To conserve and enhance the general uniformity of scale throughout the commercial allotments within Heritage Overlay Precinct, including single and two storey height limit, regular alignment of shop fronts and verandahs;

· To conserve the uniformity of front and side setbacks and predominantly side driveways; building separation and subdivision throughout the residential allotments of the Heritage Overlay Precinct;

· To conserve the existing topography and widths of the streets within the Heritage Overlay Precinct;

· To promote and support the continuing commercial, residential and cultural use of the Heritage precinct;

· To conserve and enhance the significant urban foci (and views to the significant urban foci) in the Heritage precinct, including: the High Street median strip and War Memorial; Avoca State School; former National School; Masonic Hall; Uniting Church and Anglican Church buildings and sites;

· To conserve and enhance the important treelines along High Street, particularly along the median strip with its substantial surviving row of pines at the north end; prunus trees along the nature strips of High Street; and the treelines in Rutherford Street and along the Avoca Creek. Replacement plantings should be restricted to these areas;

4.5.3 Policy Exercising Discretion

It is policy to:

· retain existing individually significant and contributory Victorian, Federation, and interwar commercial, residential or cultural places;

· encourage contemporary interpretation of traditional building design within commercial zones of the Heritage precinct, which includes hipped and/or gable roof forms (with a pitch between 25 and 35 degrees); dominant parapets, broadly-projecting skillion verandahs and minimal detailing;

· encourage the accurate reconstruction of 19th and early 20th century commercial skillion verandahs where these have been removed and/or altered, including the skillion form, and timber or cast iron columns;

Dr David Rowe: Authentic Heritage Services Pty Ltd 34 Pyrenees Shire Heritage Precinct Policy Report: October 2002

· encourage the accurate reconstruction of traditional, 19th and early 20th century commercial shopfronts, where these have been removed and/or altered. Thought should be given to the date of construction of the building and the shopfront style associated with the period. Factors may include (but are not limited to): the reinstatement of stall board and ingos, and the use of timber window frames (or copper/metal frames if this construction was originally part of the fabric) and glazed wall tiles (for early 20th century shopfronts);

· encourage contemporary interpretation of traditional building design for infill development within the residential allotments of the Heritage precinct, which includes detached dwellings, hipped and/or gabled roofs, verandahs, and minimal detailing;

· encourage development which responds to the single and double storey height and proportions, form and bulk predominant in the buildings of the precinct;

· encourage the use of traditional construction materials for infill development which includes horizontal weatherboard, pressed metal or unpainted or rendered brick wall construction, timber framed windows (residential buildings), timber framed windows, and non-zincalume sheet metal roofing;

· encourage appropriately proportioned signage, of complimentary designs and colours to the 19th and early 20th century commercial buildings in the precinct;

· encourage the location of signage on commercial buildings to shopfronts, verandah hoardings and building parapets;

· encourage the use of paint colours on buildings that are appropriate for the style and period of construction;

· encourage the use of appropriate fence types, designs and locations in residential precincts which do not obscure the visibility of the place from the street;

· encourage the appropriate development, form and scale of garages and/or carports in residential areas, with a location at the rear of the existing and/or infill buildings;

· encourage garden plantings and design that compliment the period and style of the place (residential areas only);

· retain the surviving row of pine trees along the north end of High Street, and when necessary, replace with similar species;

· retain prunus trees along the nature strips in High Street;

· retain the treelines in Rutherford Street;

· retain the rustic timber seats outside the Avoca Hotel and encourage the development of street furniture and associated fixtures that are sympathetic with the character of the streetscape, and where possible, are drawn from early photographs of the town;

Where a permit is required for building alterations, new development of other works, it is policy to:

· ensure that alterations and/or infill development draw on traditional architectural characteristics (including but not limited to):

Dr David Rowe: Authentic Heritage Services Pty Ltd 35 Pyrenees Shire Heritage Precinct Policy Report: October 2002

- gabled and/or hipped roof forms;

- parapets on commercial buildings;

- broadly-projecting skillion verandahs (commercial buildings only);

- ground floor shopfronts (commercial buildings only);

· ensure that alterations and/or infill development employ traditional building materials including:

- horizontal weatherboard, pressed metal or rendered brick wall construction;

- non-zincalume corrugated sheet metal roof cladding;

- timber or rendered brick parapets (commercial buildings);

- timber framed windows and doors;

· ensure that the general design supports and enhances the heritage values of the Heritage precinct in terms of bulk, form, scale, height, style and setting;

· ensure that new fences are:

- appropriately designed and constructed to compliment the building and residential streetscape;

- no higher than 1200mm;

· ensure that signage is:

- appropriately located on shopfronts, parapets and verandah hoardings;

- of a design, form and colour that compliments the style of the building;

Dr David Rowe: Authentic Heritage Services Pty Ltd 36 Pyrenees Shire Heritage Precinct Policy Report: October 2002

· ensure allotment configuration conforms to the following:

- The front alignment of the building should be equivalent to the front alignments of neighbouring buildings, or if these are different, the alignment may be between the setbacks of the neighbouring buildings;

- The side setbacks should be equivalent to neighbouring residential buildings within the Heritage precinct;

For new concrete kerbs and channels:

Performance measures It is policy to assess proposals against the following performance measures as appropriate:

· Existing individually significant and contributory Victorian, Federation, and interwar commercial, residential or cultural places should be retained;

· Building heights should be single storey only (or double storey for commercial buildings visually connected to other significant double storey buildings), and comply with the following:

- The springing height of the roof should be equivalent to neighbouring buildings, or if these are different, the springing height may be between those of neighbouring buildings;

- The roof form and massing of the building should be drawn from the significant neighbouring buildings visually connected to it;

· New garages and/or carports should be located at the rear of existing and/or infill residential buildings;

· Existing significant visual connections, from existing thoroughfares and significant sites, particularly those views of the War Memorial and treelines along the median strip in High Street, and the treelines along the west side of High Street and in Rutherford Street should remain unobstructed and enhanced wherever possible;

· When required, street trees should be replaced with the same or an appropriate equivalent species (in High and Rutherford Streets);

Dr David Rowe: Authentic Heritage Services Pty Ltd 37 Pyrenees Shire Heritage Precinct Policy Report: October 2002

Decision Guidelines It is policy that the responsible authority consider as appropriate:

Dr David Rowe: Authentic Heritage Services Pty Ltd 42 Pyrenees Shire Heritage Precinct Policy Report: October 2002

4.6 Moonambel Township Heritage Precinct

4.6.1 Policy Basis The Moonambel Township Heritage Heritage precinct policy applies to all land located within the heritage overlay schedule as HO505 and applies to all of the land delineated on the map included below in section 4.6.4. This map also identifies those places (buildings, works, objects and sites) which are either of individual heritage significance or contributory to the heritage significance of the precinct. The Pyrenees Shire Municipal Strategic Statement emphasizes the need to protect, conserve and enhance places of cultural significance.

The Moonambel Township Heritage precinct is historically important in demonstrating the mixture of commercial, residential, and cultural land uses, which date from soon after the first gold discovery in the area in November 1860, and the subsequent land sales in the 19th century. The Heritage precinct therefore predominantly reflects a modestly scaled, low density, commercial and residential Brooke Road rural streetscape, and a largely 19th century Church and School streetscape along Humffray Street. Although many buildings have subsequently been demolished or relocated, these streetscapes – combined with the banks of the Mountain Creek - still retain the essential rural mining township character of Moonambel.

The Heritage precinct is architecturally important for the modestly scaled, single storey predominantly Victorian styled commercial, residential, Church and School buildings mainly in Brooke Road and Humffray Street respectively. These buildings are constructed of unpainted brick or horizontal weatherboard, with gabled or hipped roofs clad in galvanised corrugated iron. Other important architectural qualities include the unpainted brick chimneys, front or side verandahs (skillion verandahs supported by timber columns for commercial buildings), timber framed windows, prominent parapets (commercial buildings), parapet signage (commercial buildings), gable ventilators, brick buttresses (Church buildings), decorative features consistent with the building style, scrolled metal Church gates and timber picket and post and rail timber fences.

The contrast between the relatively shallow front setbacks of Brooke Road and the substantial front and side setbacks of the Church and School allotments in Humffray Street is also distinctive and important.

The important architectural and aesthetic historic character is further enhanced by the substantial exotic trees in Humffray Street, and the views of the Churches along Brooke Road and the views of the Mountain Creek towards the north of the Heritage precinct.

4.7 Landsborough Township Heritage Precinct

4.7.1 Policy Basis The Landsborough Township Heritage Precinct policy applies to all land located within the heritage overlay schedule as HO503 and applies to all of the land delineated on the map included below in section 4.7.4. This map also identifies those places (buildings, works, objects and sites) which are either of individual heritage significance or contributory to the heritage significance of the precinct. The Pyrenees Shire Municipal Strategic Statement emphasizes the need to protect, conserve and enhance places of cultural significance.

The Landsborough Township Heritage precinct is historically and architecturally important in demonstrating the mixture of commercial, residential, and cultural land uses, which date from soon after the first gold discovery and laying of the streets in 1862. The Heritage precinct is notable for its modestly scaled, detached, low density, single storey, commercial, cultural and residential buildings along Burke Street. Most of the buildings have hipped and gabled roof forms clad in galvanised corrugated iron, horizontal weatherboard wall construction (with the occasional unpainted brick wall construction), unpainted brick chimneys, prominent parapets and/or skillion verandahs (commercial buildings), front verandahs with decorative detailing (residential buildings), timber framed windows, and shallow (if any) front setbacks (particularly central Landsborough).

The small number of significant landmark buildings in Burke Street also contribute to the architectural character and historical understanding of the township’s development. These buildings include the imposing interwar Public Hall, 19th century Burke and Wills Hotel and the interwar Hodgett’s Store. The Peppercorn trees, grassed nature strips (without footpaths) and the bowling greens further enhance the aesthetic and cultural significance of the township.

4.7.2 Objectives · To ensure the retention and conservation of the individually significant and contributory 19th and early 20th century commercial, residential and cultural buildings and places that demonstrate the historic significance of the Heritage Overlay Precinct. The notable significant commercial and residential streetscape qualities include (but are not limited to) the broadly-projecting skillion verandahs (where verandahs are an early and/or significant part of the design); hipped or gabled roof forms; horizontal weatherboard wall construction; galvanised corrugated iron roof cladding, unpainted brick chimneys; timber framed windows; front verandahs (residential buildings); and shallow front setbacks;

· To conserve and enhance the modest scale of the commercial, residential and Church and school buildings within the Heritage Overlay Precinct;

· To conserve and enhance the single storey height limit and detached nature of the buildings within the Heritage Overlay Precinct;

· To conserve the uniformity of front and side setbacks; building separation and subdivision throughout the Heritage Overlay Precinct;

· To conserve the existing topography and widths of the streets within the Heritage Overlay Precinct;

· To promote and support the continuing combined commercial, residential, and cultural use of the Heritage precinct;

Dr David Rowe: Authentic Heritage Services Pty Ltd 49 Pyrenees Shire Heritage Precinct Policy Report: October 2002

· To conserve and enhance the significant views of significant landmarks within Heritage precinct, including the views to Public Hall, Burke and Wills Hotel and Hodgett’s Store;

· To conserve and enhance the important group of peppercorn trees near the corner of Burke and McKinley Streets;

· To conserve and enhance the grassed nature strips within the Heritage Overlay Precinct;

4.8 Landsborough Camp Hill Heritage Precinct

4.8.1 Policy Basis The Landsborough Camp Hill Heritage Precinct policy applies to all land located within the heritage overlay schedule as HO504 and applies to all of the land delineated on the map included below in section 4.8.4. This map also identifies those places (buildings, works, objects and sites) which are either of individual heritage significance or contributory to the heritage significance of the precinct. The Pyrenees Shire Municipal Strategic Statement emphasizes the need to protect, conserve and enhance places of cultural significance.

The Landsborough Camp Hill Heritage precinct is historically and architecturally important in demonstrating the mixture of school, church and police land uses as a result of the police camp and station established after the gold rush in 1862, and the subsequent reservation of nearby land for public buildings. The Heritage precinct is therefore predominantly identified by modestly scaled, low density, detached, single storey, hipped and gabled buildings. These buildings have galvanised corrugated iron roof cladding, predominantly horizontal weatherboard wall construction (the Catholic Church is constructed in brick and painted), timber framed windows, unpainted brick chimneys or galvanised iron ventilation stacks, and gable ventilators. The Heritage precinct is also identified by large front and side setbacks, gravel verges and grassed nature strips and an important treeline near by the Native Creek along McKinley Street. The importance of the Heritage precinct is further identified by the uninterrupted visual connections of the police residence, lock up, schools and Church building.

4.8.2 Objectives · To ensure the retention and conservation of the individually significant and contributory predominantly 19th and early 20th century Church, school, police and residential buildings and places that demonstrate the historic significance of the Heritage Overlay Precinct. The notable significant architectural qualities include the hipped and gabled roof forms clad in galvanised corrugated iron, horizontal weatherboard wall construction, unpainted brick chimneys, gable ventilators, front verandahs (residential buildings), and timber framed windows;

· To conserve and enhance the modest scale of the Church, school, police and residential buildings within the Heritage Overlay Precinct;

· To conserve and enhance the single storey height limit within the Heritage Overlay Precinct;

· To conserve the large scale of front and side setbacks; building separation and subdivision throughout the Heritage Overlay Precinct;

· To conserve the existing topography and widths of the streets within the Heritage Overlay Precinct;

· To promote and support the continuing predominantly educational, religious and police use of the Heritage precinct;

· To conserve and enhance the significant views within the Heritage Overlay Precinct, particularly the uninterrupted visual connections of the police, church and school buildings;

· To conserve and enhance the important treeline along McKinley Street near the Native Creek and the palm tree neighbouring the Catholic Church site; Dr David Rowe: Authentic Heritage Services Pty Ltd 55 Pyrenees Shire Heritage Precinct Policy Report: October 2002

· To conserve and enhance the gravel verges, grassed nature strips, and open drainage systems along the streets within the Heritage Overlay Precinct;
