Heritage survey responses.
Do you agree that the identification and protection of local heritage places is best done by local councils rather than DPTI (Department of Planning, Transport and Infrastructure)?
No. It should be a joint effortIn your opinion, has the current system of local heritage protection served your community well?
I’m not informed enough to give a good opinionShould councils reject proposals to list local places of historic merit simply because an owner objects?
That needs to be assessed on a case by case basisShould neighbours of local heritage listed buildings have a right of appeal on development applications that propose demolition?
I’m not informed enough to give a good opinionShould buildings listed as Contributory Items in your council area receive better protection?
I’m not informed enough to give a good opinionDo you agree that places proposed for listing by your council as Local Heritage or Contributory Items should be subject to review by DPTI? Or would reviews be more appropriately conducted by an independent source of expert advice?
Yes. AgreeWould you like to see your council work more closely with the National Trust of SA in protecting heritage, for example, by signing up as one of the Trust's Civic Partners?
Potentially.What are your personal suggestions for improving the way your council handles policy and planning?
As yet, I’m not informed enough to give a good opinionShould councils actively encourage individuals to nominate places for consideration as local heritage?
Yes
