Macedon Ranges Shire’s high elevation and temperate climate provides it with scenic landscapes, natural features and extensive woodlands. The Shire continues to exhibit some of Victoria’s earliest European settlements, including intact heritage towns, pastoral farms, and historic mansions and gardens. Historic towns such as Gisborne and Kyneton were established on historic transport and supply corridors between Melbourne and central and northern Victoria. These corridors were strengthened during the gold rush between 1850 and the 1860s. There have been previous heritage studies which have identify many heritage places worthy of further investigation. The Gisborne and Kyneton Heritage Study 2017, considered and built upon, places identified in previous heritage studies. Macedon Ranges Planning Scheme Amendment C118 (the Amendment) seeks to implement the Gisborne and Kyneton Heritage Study 2017 recommendations by applying the Heritage Overlay to the 38 places in Gisborne, New Gisborne and Kyneton. The Amendment was exhibited from 22 March to 2 May 2018 and received 12 submissions. Key issues raised in submissions included the heritage study approach such as site selection, accuracy and consistency with a previous heritage study. General issues included how the Heritage Overlay was mapped to farming homesteads, property owner assistance, property value, insurance premiums and land ownership. Issues specific to individual heritage places included whether there was sufficient local heritage significance to apply the Heritage Overlay, whether additional Heritage Overlay Schedule controls should be applied, and whether the heritage citation accurately
