Ocm 10 December 2013 Appe Amendment C99: Permanent Site Specific Heritage Controls for the Former Nugget Factory, Williamstown AMENDMENT C99: PERMANENT SITE SPECIFIC HERITAGE CONTROLS FOR THE FORMER NUGGET FACTORY, WILLIAMSTOWN 1 Amendment C99: Permanent Site Specific Heritage Controls for the Former Nugget Factory, Williamstown EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Former Nugget Factory (Nugget Factory) is located at 16 to 20 Kanowna Street; Williamstown; land at lot 3 on Title Plan 852861D (the Site). The Site is currently zoned Mixed Use Zone and Heritage Overlay – Schedule 8: Government Survey Heritage Precinct (HO8). The heritage significance of the Nugget Factory has been an ongoing matter for consideration. Since Amendment C75 (which proposed the rezoning of the Port Phillip Woollen Mills Site), three reports have been prepared which consider the heritage significance of the Nugget Factory. These are: a. Appraisal Report: Former Williamstown Steam Laundry, Kanowna Street, Williamstown prepared by Lovell Chen, December 2010; b. Heritage Report: Former Nugget Factory at 16 to 20 Kanowna Street, Williamstown prepared by Lesley Alves and Associates, August 2012; and c. Nugget Factory Kanowna Street Williamstown Heritage Assessment Report prepared by Biosis, 21st October 2013 (Biosis report). While the Site and the Nugget Factory are identified by the Hobson Bay Industrial Land Management Strategy, 2008 (ILMS) as part of the Strategic Redevelopment Area (SRA) portion of Precinct 20; at the time of drafting the ILMS, the heritage significance of the Nugget Factory was not known. The existing HO8 identifies the Nugget Factory as non contributory, whereas recent heritage reports have found that the Nugget Factory has heritage significance. The most recent Biosis report suggesting a site specific heritage overlay to ensure that the heritage controls affecting the Nugget Factory appropriately reflect the importance of the Nugget Factory which they currently do not do. Given the above, Amendment C99 proposes to: a. Amend the schedule to Clause 43.01: Heritage Overlay to include Heritage Overlay – Schedule 317: the Former Nugget Factory (HO317); and b. Amends Planning Scheme Map 19HO to apply HO317 to the Site. c. Amend Clauses 21.06, 21.10 and 22.01 to remove reference to the Hobsons Bay Heritage Study Amended 2010 and replace it with Hobsons Bay Heritage Study Amended 2014. Consequently, it is recommended that the Council: a. Supports the preparation and exhibition of Amendment C99 to the Hobsons Bay Planning Scheme; and 2 Amendment C99: Permanent Site Specific Heritage Controls for the Former Nugget Factory, Williamstown b. Request authorisation from the Minister for Planning under Section 8A of the Planning and Environment Act 1987 (VIC) to prepare and exhibit Amendment C99 to the Hobsons Bay Planning Scheme to introduce a site specific heritage overlay to the Former Nugget Factory being land at 16 to 20 Kanowna Street, Williamstown. 3 Amendment C99: Permanent Site Specific Heritage Controls for the Former Nugget Factory, Williamstown CONTENTS SECTION PAGE NUMBER Part One Purpose 5 Overview 5 Part Two The Site 6 The Immediate Surrounds 7 The Broader Surrounds 12 Background 13 Heritage Significance 16 The Amendment 19 Part Three Strategic Assessment of the Amendment 21 Relevant Policies 25 Other key matters that require consideration 27 Part Four Summary 30 Conclusion 30 Maps One: Boundaries of the Site 6 Two: Boundaries of Precinct 20 (orange and grey) 7 Three: Boundaries of 16 to 20 Kanowna Street, 7 Williamstown Four: Boundaries of the Former Port Phillip Woollen 8 Mills Site Five: Site Surrounds 9 Six: Surrounding Zoning 10 Seven: The Environmental Audit Overlay 10 Eight: Design and Development Overlay Controls 11 Nine: Heritage Overlay Controls 12 Ten: Major Hazard Facility Outer Advisory Area 28 Acronyms 31 References 33 Appendices One: Heritage Reports 34 Two: Amendment Documents including Citation 35 4 Amendment C99: Permanent Site Specific Heritage Controls for the Former Nugget Factory, Williamstown PART ONE PURPOSE 1.

The following information was compiled from a number of written sources based on language research and ethno-historic observations. It should be noted that the information provided here does not necessarily reflect the opinions of the Gunditj Mirring people regarding their tribal affiliations and boundaries. Aboriginal occupation of the Portland region has been dated to at least 11,000 years ago, with use of the coastal regions demonstrated by the presence of recorded shell middens and artefact scatters (Freslov 1992; Kellaway and Rhodes 2002).

The Eastern Market Gates (Former), originally constructed in 1880 as part of the Eastern Market complex in the City of Melbourne and relocated to the Altona Memorial Park in 1968, at Dohertys Road, Altona North. How is it Significant? The Eastern Market Gates (Former) are of local historic and aesthetic significance to the City of Hobsons Bay. Why is it Significant? Historically, they are significant as perhaps the only publicly surviving remnant of the famous Eastern Market of Melbourne. They are also of interest for their associations with the notable architectural firm of Reed & Barnes. (AHC criterion B2) Aesthetically, they are significant as fine examples of their style and type and provide an appropriate formal note to the entrance to the Memorial Gardens.

  • Williamstown Heritage Overlay No. HO17 Related Precinct(S) Private Survey Heritage Precinct
    Heritage Precinct Name James Street Heritage Precinct Address James Street (part), Williamstown Heritage Overlay No. HO17 Related Precinct(s) Private Survey Heritage Precinct Significance Local Style & Type Heritage precinct Significant Dates c.1855-1900 Designer Not applicable Builder Not applicable Statement of Significance What is Significant? The James Street Heritage Precinct, which comprises all land in HO17 and generally includes properties with a frontage to James Street, Williamstown. How is it Significant? The James Street Heritage Precinct is of local historic and aesthetic significance to the City of Hobson’s Bay. Why is it Significant? Historically, James Street was one of the first private residential subdivisions in the area to the north of Ferguson Street and includes some of the oldest houses in this area at No. 11 and 22. Many of the houses were associated with the maritime industry in Williamstown. It is therefore important for its ability to illustrate an important phase in the early development of the Private Survey residential area when Williamstown was the main port of Melbourne. (AHC criteria A4 and D2) Aesthetically, it is significant for its distinctive and consistent nineteenth century residential character, which derives from the presence of a number of architecturally significant and contributory houses which encompass a wide range of domestic architectural styles from the mid to late Victorian period. The historic setting of the dwellings is enhanced by remnant early street detailing including the basalt kerb and channels. (AHC criterion E1) On this basis, the following properties and other elements contribute to the significance of the precinct: . James Street (odd) 1-11, 15-19 (inclusive) (even) 2, 4, 8, 10, 14, 18, 20 and 22.
