In accordance with the Scheme, a draft Heritage Inventory for the Subiaco Redevelopment Area has now been prepared in order to recognise places and precincts of cultural heritage significance. The Heritage Inventory, along with Development Policy 2 — Heritage Places, will complement the statutory planning framework for the Subiaco Redevelopment Area to enable development consistent with Scheme vision and objectives, particularly to retain and enhance Subiaco's sense of place. In accordance with clause 8.4 of the Scheme, the MRA invites the City of Subiaco to review and make comment on the enclosed draft Heritage Inventory by no later than 10 August 2018, being 42 days from the date of this letter.

Introduction THE INVENTORY The Metropolitan Redevelopment Authority (the MRA) is responsible for the urban renewal of the Subiaco Redevelopment Area and proposes to recognise and afford protective measures to those places that have cultural heritage significance. The Subiaco Redevelopment Scheme 2 (the Scheme) empowers the MRA to compile and maintain a list of heritage places, called a Heritage Inventory (HI). The Subiaco HI is a statutory heritage list adopted under the Scheme, similar to a heritage list included within a Local Planning Scheme, that identifies places and precincts of cultural heritage significance that are considered worthy of protection. The Subiaco HI complements the statutory planning framework for the Subiaco Redevelopment Area to protect and enable adaptive reuse and development consistent with the redevelopment objectives set out in the Metropolitan Redevelopment Authority Regulations 2011 (MRA Regulations), particularly to retain and enhance Subiaco's sense of place. The MRA's HI is different to a Local Government Inventory (Municipal Inventory), such as the City of Subiaco's inventory, which is a database that identifies places or precincts of cultural heritage signifciance, but is only for information purposes and has no statutory basis. The places and precincts listed in the HI are supported by a 'thematic history', which identifies the history, stories and events, including Aboriginal history, that have shaped Subiaco and are represented in the built environment. The thematic history is important as it informs the assessment of significance of the places. Whilst the Subiaco Redevelopment Area has undergone much change over successive periods of development, the area still retains a number of places that reflect moments or periods in the local historical timeline. A key objective of the HI is to recognise and protect places of cultural heritage significance, including sites such as the Australia Fine China Precinct, Godfrey House, Subiaco Oval and the Subiaco Oval Gates, which are included on the State Register of Heritage Places, as well as other locally important historical elements of Subiaco. PLANNING IMPLICATIONS The Subiaco HI has a key role to play in the protection and conservation of local and State heritage. This document is adopted by the Authority under the provisions of the Scheme and, together with the Authority's Development Policy 2 - Heritage Places, will be used in assessment of development applications and planning decision making regarding heritage places in the Subiaco Redevelopment Area. Page 4 II MRA Subiaco Heritage Inventory STUDY AREA The study area comprises the land within the Subiaco Redevelopment Area, as shown in Schedule 1 of the MRA Regulations and Figure 1 below. .9; FIGURE 1 SUBIACO REDEVELOPMENT AREA Page 5 // MRA Subiaco Heritage Inventory METHODOLOGY The methodology adopted for preparation of the Subiaco HI is generally based on the methodology set out in the Department of Planning, Lands and Heritage Basic Principles for Local Government Inventories (2012) and the Criteria for the Assessment of Local Heritage Places and Areas (2012). These guidelines have been adapted to ensure that this study is consistent with the Authority's planning framework. The essential principles and philosophy of the Australia International Council of Monuments and Sites (ICOMOS) Charter for Places of Cultural Heritage Significance (the 'Burra Charter', 2013) are also drawn upon in the determination of heritage values and management levels. The preparation process involved an examination of the City of Subiaco Local Government Inventory, research data from the Subi Centro project area, heritage assessments undertaken by Greenward Consulting on behalf of the City of Subiaco (2015), desktop review of the Department of Planning, Lands and Heritage InHerit database and advice prepared by Griffiths Architects and Archae-Aus on behalf of the MRA. Each place is assessed in terms of its condition as viewed from the streetscape, which contribute to the degree or 'level' of significance of the place. Each place is graded on the scale of 'Good', 'Fair' or 'Poor'. In accordance with the standard methodology for the preparation of HI's, physical surveys of places within the study area were conducted from the street only and did not include examinations of interior spaces.

Management of Places in the Heritage Inventory MANAGEMENT CATEGORIES The following terms are used to classify and describe each place listed in the Subiaco HI to enable appropriate management of the place, with details included in the Place Record for each listed place: Statement of Significance Each place includes a Statement of Significance which is a specific and unique description of the key heritage qualities of each place. A place or precinct is deemed to have heritage significance if it meets one or more of the following criteria: • Aesthetic Value: It is significant in exhibiting particular aesthetic characteristics. For example, it exhibits characteristics of scale, composition, materials, texture and colour that are considered to have value for the local area. • Historic Value: It is significant in the evolution or pattern of the history of the local district. For example. it is closely associated with the events, developments or cultural phases that have played an important part in the area's history, has a special association with a group or organisation important in shaping the area or is an example of technical or creative achievement from a particular period. • Scientific (Research) Value: It has demonstrable potential to yield information that will contribute to an understanding of the natural or cultural history of the local district, or it is significant in demonstrating a high degree of technical innovation or achievement. For example, it is a standing structure or archaeological deposit which is an important benchmark or reference site, or it shows qualities of innovation, design skill or originality for its time or context. • Social Value: It is significant through association with a community or cultural group in the local district for social, cultural, educational or spiritual reasons. For example, the place is one that the community, or a significant part of the community, has held in high
