Building Identification Forms

Many properties in North Carlton, Princes Hill, Richmond, Cremorne and Burnley were surveyed in 1984.  As part of this survey a building identification form was produced which recorded details of these properties including a photograph, the estimated date of construction, and notes on the condition of the property.

Council has recently converted the Richmond, North Carlton and Princes Hill Building Identification Forms produced in 1984 into electronic documents.  If you would like a hard copy of a form which relates to your property please contact the Strategic Planning Unit on 9205 5373, alternatively you can view the Building Identification Forms at the Richmond and Carlton branches of the City of Yarra Library Service.
