It contains citations for all heritage places included in the Heritage Overlay (HO) of the Wellington Planning Scheme. The majority of the citations have been drawn from the following heritage studies: • Graeme Butler & Assoc., Port Albert Conservation Study, 1982. • Context Pty Ltd, City of Sale Heritage Study, 1994 • Context Pty Ltd, Wellington Shire Heritage Study: Stage 1, May 2005 – Volume 1 – Study methods and results • Context Pty Ltd, Wellington Shire Heritage Study: Stage 1, May 2005 – Volume 2 – Environmental History The citations from these studies and for other places included in the HO are now contained an electronic database known as the Wellington Heritage Places Database (WHPD). This report has been derived from the WHPD. This volume should be read in conjunction with the relevant heritage study reports listed above, which provide an explanation of the methodology used in the identification and assessment of the heritage places. Some places are also on other registers such as the Victorian Heritage Register, the National Trust of Australia (Victoria) register and the Register of the National Estate, which may provide further information about the place. Purpose The rich and diverse historic cultural heritage of Wellington Shire illustrates the historic use, development and occupation of the land since first contact. This history is demonstrated by a wide range of heritage places that include buildings and structures, monuments, trees and landscapes, and archaeological sites. They have one thing in common: These are places that are worth keeping because they enrich our lives – by helping us to understand the past; by contributing to the richness of the present environment; and because we expect them to be of value to future generations. (The Burra Charter) The heritage place citations provide a description of the history of the heritage place and its surviving fabric (including buildings, trees, fences, etc.) and, on this basis, provide an assessment of the significance of the place. The purpose is to assist Council and other key stakeholders in making decisions about the future use, development or management of the place by providing information about the significant heritage values that should be considered when preparing a development application in accordance with the Wellington Planning Scheme. 1 WELLLINGTON SHIRE HERITAGE PLACE CITATIONS Date of adoption This document was added as an incorporated document listed in Clause 81 of the Wellington Planning Scheme by Amendment C26 (Part 1), which was adopted by Wellington Shire Council on 21 August 2007. 2 WELLINGTON SHIRE HERITAGE PLACE CITATIONS HOW TO USE Introduction The citations in this report are listed by locality and use a standard report layout provided by the Wellington Heritage Places Database. In summary, the citations explain the reasons why the places are significant and provide recommendations for future conservation and management. The information that will be relevant to most users is included under the following headings: • Description • History • Statement of Significance • Recommendations The Wellington Shire Heritage Study: Stage 1, May 2005 Volume 2 Environmental History should also be considered as it provides important additional contextual information about the themes that were important in the historic development of the area. The terms used throughout this report are consistent with The Burra Charter: The Australia ICOMOS Charter for Places of Cultural Heritage Significance (1999). A glossary of key terms and their meanings is provided in Volume 1. NOTE: While every effort has been made to ensure that the information contained in the citations is accurate, it is possible that more detailed investigation may reveal further information about the significance of the place. For example, in most cases an internal inspection was not made of buildings at the time of initial assessment. In the time since the place was first assessed it is also possible that the condition of buildings or trees may have changed. The information contained in the citation should therefore be reviewed at the time that it is proposed to make changes to the property. This would likely require a more detailed assessment of any significant or contributory element that is affected by any proposed buildings or works. Description This provides a description of all the surviving physical fabric (such as buildings, trees, fences, etc.) that illustrates the history of the place and contributes to its significance. It may also describe elements that are considered intrusive or non-contributory to significance. Note: Further investigation may be required as outlined above. History This provides a history of place on the basis of the information available at the time of that it was originally identified and assessed. It is not intended as a complete history of the place, but rather an outline of the key events and influences that shaped its development. For example, the history would not usually provide a description of all of the owners of a place, but rather of those that were associated with key periods in its development, usually when it was first constructed or established, and when key changes 3 WELLLINGTON SHIRE HERITAGE PLACE CITATIONS or improvements were made. The extent of history depends on the availability of primary and secondary source material about a place. Statement of Significance The Statement of Significance is based upon the information known about a place including its history and the surviving physical fabric that illustrates that history. On this basis, it seeks to describe the principal reasons for the significance of the place and is intended to be: ... a brief, pithy but comprehensive statement of all the ways in which the place is significant. It should not just be a list of every conceivable reason for significance that the assessor can think up, however, it must state clearly and unequivocally the major reasons why the place is important. It must be supported by the presentation of sufficient evidence to justify the assessment judgement. (Pearson & Sullivan, 1995) Recommendations This provides recommendations for inclusion to any statutory registers including: • The Heritage Overlay of the Wellington Planning Scheme. • The Victorian Heritage Register or Victorian Heritage Inventory. For some places or precincts it may also include general conservation objectives and guidelines for buildings (and trees, where relevant) to ensure that future use, development and management of the place or precinct is carried out in a manner that conserves (or minimises adverse impact upon) its significance. 4 WELLINGTON SHIRE HERITAGE PLACE CITATIONS LIST OF CITATIONS Heritage Name & address Overlay No. ALBERTON HO3 Mareen Banks Street, Alberton (Town Lot 5/2) HO8 House Danger Street, Alberton HO11 Eabon Eabon Hawdon Street, Alberton (Part CA 4/17) HO7 House Kirksop Street, Alberton (Town Lot 17/3) HO1 House Johnson Street (Manns Beach Road), Alberton (Part CA A/2) HO2 House Johnson Street (Manns Beach Road), Alberton (Part CA 3-6/3) HO12 Alberton Butter Factory (former) Russell Street, Alberton (Lot 4/17) HO6 House Streleski Street, Alberton (Town lots 1 & 2/3) HO5 Store & residence Turnbull Street, Alberton (Town lot 19/2) HO9 House Turnbull Street, Alberton (Town lot Part CA 1/7) HO10 Victoria Hotel Turnbull Street, Alberton (Part CA 3/9) HO22 House Old Port Road, Alberton.
