Overview

Proposed Plan Change 1 proposed the extension of the historic heritage buildings, structures and sites that were listed in Schedule 2 of the District Plan.

It also included subsequent amendments to the District Plan such as updating the Planning Maps to identify the additional listed heritage buildings, structures and sites and some minor amendments to Chapter 13.

The additional buildings, structures and sites that were proposed for listing in Schedule 2 had been nominated as part of a public process, were assessed by heritage experts and had the property owners approval for listing.
