Updating heritage protections
The Castlemaine Heritage Study will identify, assess and protect places and objects that are significant to the history and development of our shire and Victoria.
Delivered in stages, the study is part of our ongoing Council Plan work to 'maintain, improve and celebrate our places and spaces.'
Our passionate community will be consulted wherever possible - read more about Stage 1 consultation on this page.
Stage 2 - review existing heritage overlays
In May 2023 we commenced stage 2 of the study, which involves reviewing the existing heritage overlays in Castlemaine.
Over the next few months we will prepare the "Castlemaine Heritage Preliminary Investigations Report."
To prepare the report we will gather insights and knowledge from desktop reviews, field work research and collaboration with the Project Advisory Group.
Stage 1 - the "hunt for heritage"
The "Hunt for Heritage"
In late 2022 we embarked on stage 1 consultation. We invited stakeholders and the broader community to join in a ‘Hunt for Heritage’.
During this time we asked the community to let us know about significant places that are not currently protected for their heritage.
