Many of these places are of aesthetic, social, historic, cultural, technical and/or spiritual significance to the municipality. In June 2018 Council adopted the Cranbourne Town Centre Structure Plan 2018 (the Structure Plan) to guide the growth and development of this major activity centre over the next 20 years. The Structure Plan identifies ‘Culture and Heritage’ as a key principle to guide growth and development within the area and has set a goal to ‘create a place that the community is proud of and where culture, heritage and history is celebrated’. In order to assist Council to better understand and manage the heritage of Cranbourne Town Centre, Council has sought to review the documentation for the 11 places of local heritage significance within the area that are included on the Schedule to the Heritage Overlay. The review involves a full re-assessment of the significance and curtilage of each place, resulting in new citations and statements of significance for each of them. This report includes an overview of the methodology, findings and recommendations of the review, as well as revised citations and curtilage (where relevant) for the 11 individual properties considered. Key Findings The key findings of the ‘Cranbourne Town Centre: Heritage Overlays Review’ are as follows: • There are ten individual heritage places assessed to be of local significance (see Appendix A.1). • There is one individual heritage place which is assessed as no longer meeting the threshold for local significance (see Appendix A.2) • The curtilage for five places is recommended to be amended (see Appendix B) • The schedule entry for ten places is recommended to be amended (See Appendix C) The recommended changes for each place are set out in the table in Appendix E. Recommendations It is recommended that the Casey City Council: • Adopt the ‘Cranbourne Town Centre: Heritage Overlays Review’ (2020) and include it as a Reference Document in the Planning Scheme; • Implement the ‘Cranbourne Town Centre: Heritage Overlays Review’(2020) by: o Removing from the Schedule to the Heritage Overlay at Clause 43.01s the individual place which does not meet the threshold for local significance, listed in Appendix A.2; o Amend the Schedule to the Heritage Overlay at Clause 43.01s with the schedule entries shown in the revised citation for each place and summarised in Appendix C; and PLAN HERITAGE | PAGE 5 o Amend the existing HO curtilage in the HO Maps as shown in the revised citation for each
