The City of Yarra has a rich history and is home to a large number of historical buildings and sites that are of interest and value to the community. Council has a strong commitment to the protection and enhancement of the City’s rich historical fabric.
Heritage can relate to a wide variety of places, including a building or group of buildings, site or area, land or a landscape, a memorial, a tree, garden or parkland, the place of a historical event, urban areas, towns, or industrial sites, archaeological sites, as well as spiritual and religious places.
The judgement of the significance of a heritage place is made on a broad cultural basis and considers its significance in terms of its history, architecture, aesthetics, spirituality, and / or social meaning.
Sites of State significance are listed on the Victorian Heritage Register Sites of local significance are protected by Local Government by the application of Heritage Overlays in local planning schemes.
Whatever you do in the City of Yarra, you can’t help being immersed in history. Whether you are visiting one of our waterways, shopping or dining in one of our retail strips, or driving through our residential areas - heritage sites are all around.
