I have been asked by Paul Bowe of Terraco on behalf of Jing Ying Pty Ltd (Submitter 12), the owner of the above property, to prepare a statement of expert evidence which addresses the heritage aspects relating to the proposed inclusion of part of the broader place in a Heritage Overlay. The inclusion of the Alistair Knox house in the Heritage Overlay is not opposed and therefore this evidence is in respect of the proposed heritage curtilage. 2. Amendment C234, proposes to include in the Schedule to the Heritage Overlay (HO915) the dwelling and a surrounding curtilage at 40 Harley Street, Strathdale. “Nanga Gnulle”, mud brick and reclaimed materials house. External paint controls are proposed and the place would be subject to an Incorporated Plan under Clause 43.01-2 i.e. Greater Bendigo Heritage Incorporated Plan – Permit Exemptions, August 2015. 3. The Greater Bendigo Planning Scheme Amendment C234 Explanatory Report states, inter alia, The main dwelling, constructed of mud brick and reclaimed materials is considered of heritage significance for its association with architect Alistair Knox, and use of recycled materials which provide a unique architectural style.
