There are no powers available to either the Minister for Heritage or the Heritage Council under the
Heritage of Western Australia Act 1990
to compel the owners of a registered place to undertake maintenance works of any kind.
Through the Office of Heritage, the Heritage Council has been working with the owners of the Guildford Hotel and the City of Swan to progress the owners' plans for restoration of the Hotel and redevelopment of the site as a whole.
This led to the submission of a development application by the owners to the City of Swan. The application was referred to the Heritage Council for formal advice under Section 11 of the
Heritage of Western Australia Act 1990
on 15 August 2011. The Heritage Council supported the proposal and rendered its advice to the City on 23 September 2011. The City of Swan subsequently approved the development, with conditions, on 30 November 2011.
The Office of Heritage has continued to work with the owners and the City of Swan as review of some of the City's conditions attached to the development are resolved through mediation at the State Administrative Tribunal.
The Office will also continue to work with and provide advice to the owners as the detailed design documentation required to move the project forward to the next stage of the approvals process is completed.
