APPEALS VERSION 26.2 Identification and Protection 26.2.1 Categorisation and future listing The District’s most significant known heritage features are represented in the Inventory of Protected heritage Features. Although they all have heritage value, they are categorised according to their relative level of importance which allows different levels of regulatory protection to be applied. For heritage features there are three categories: 1 to 3, with Category 1 being the most significant. PROPOSED DISTRICT PLAN [PART FIVE] Queenstown Lakes District Council acknowledges that the Inventory represents an identification and categorisation of heritage features QLDC at the time this plan was reviewed and may subsequently change. Nominations for inclusions, removals or amendments to categories for individual features will be considered, but should contain sufficiently detailed and robust reports in line with assessments that the Council uses. Evidence that affected owners have been informed and consulted should be provided and: a. for heritage precincts and heritage Overlay Areas, a report from a qualified a conservation / landscape architect or a person with demonstrated experience as an adviser or manager on projects involving heritage precincts or areas, is recommended. These may include site specific reports from government bodies with a remit for heritage, such as heritage New Zealand Pouhere Taonga and the Department of Conservation; b. for sites of significance to Maori, a detailed assessment of the extent of the site and related values should be prepared by the appropriately mandated iwi; c. for individual buildings and structures, a report from a suitably qualified conservation architect, using the Council’s criteria, and for Category 1 features, a Conservation Plan. Any Conservation Plan shall be prepared in accordance with heritage New Zealand’s Best Practice guidelines; d. for sites that require the use of archaeological methods, a detailed assessment by a qualified and experienced archaeologist.

Any Conservation Plan shall be prepared in accordance with heritage New Zealand’s Best Practice guidelines; 26.2.2 Description of listed heritage Features Categories 1 – 3 Category 1 Category 1 heritage Features warrant the highest level of protection as they are very significant nationally or regionally. Category 1 shall include all places of the highest historical or cultural heritage significance including, but not limited to, all features in Category 1 of the heritage New Zealand ‘New Zealand heritage List/ Rarangi Kohero’. Category 2 Category 2 heritage Features warrant permanent protection because they are very significant to the District and/or locally. Category 3 Category 3 heritage Features are significant to the District and/or locally and their retention is warranted. The Council will be more flexible regarding significant alterations to heritage features in this Category. Category 3 E ERITAg h ISTORIC h shall include all other places of special historical or cultural value. 26 26.2.3 Evaluation APPEALS VERSION Development affecting historic heritage can be a complex matter because of the sensitivity of the values associated with them. The evaluation criteria contained in this section 26.6.1 of this chapter shall form the basis of any ‘Assessment of Effects’ on activities affecting heritage features. Early consultation on development proposals is recommended with heritage professionals, heritage New Zealand and community heritage groups, before the design stage. 26.2.4 Archaeology Alert Layer The hNZPTA 2014 makes it unlawful to destroy or modify the whole or part of an archaeological site without the prior authority of heritage PROPOSED DISTRICT PLAN [PART FIVE] New Zealand. This is a separate statutory process to obtaining any resource consents required under this District Plan, but is an important QLDC step for applicants to consider when preparing a resource consent application which might affect an archaeological site. An archaeological site is defined in the hNZPTA 2014 and is also included in the list of definitions under Section 26.6. given the large number of archaeological sites within the District, they are not shown on the Planning Maps. however to assist prospective applicants, an alert layer is maintained by the Council which identifies particularly significant groups of sites or significant sites of unknown extent. This layer is for information purposes only, and users of the Plan are recommended to undertake early consultation with heritage New Zealand. This alert layer does not necessarily contain all archaeological sites but is intended to provide applicants with an easily accessible means of undertaking an initial check of the subject site. The alert layer will be updated as new information is made available to the Council. It does not form part of the District Plan Planning Maps. 26 – 3 E 26.3 Objectives and Policies 26.3.1 Objective - The District’s historic heritage is recognised, protected, ERITAg h maintained and enhanced.
