(a) If the owner of a place entered in the State Register of Heritage Places applies to their local government for a demolition licence under s. 374A of the
Local Government (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1960
, the local government is required by s. 11(2) of the Heritage Act to refer that application to the Heritage Council for advice before actually making a decision on the application. Further, s. 11(3) of the Heritage Act requires that the decision on the application be "consistent with" the advice received from the Heritage Council.
Through the Office of Heritage, I am advised that as at 21 April 2010 there has been no application to demolish Maddington Homestead lodged with the City of Gosnells.
(i) Not applicable.
(ii) Not applicable.
(b) Despite the objections and subsequent appeal of the owners, I placed a Conservation Order over Maddington Homestead on the 22 September 2009. This action was on the recommendation of the Heritage Council and had strong community support. A Conservation Order requires the owner to seek my personal approval before they proceed with works within the registered area. This will ensure any works proposed as part of the project are appropriate and contribute to achieving a positive heritage outcome.
