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)?
YesIn your opinion, has the current system of local heritage protection served your community well?
Yes overall but there is a problem with lack of enforcement orders and listings being able to be challenged I am cautious leaving decisions to elected councillors who are weak under the pressure of land ownersShould councils reject proposals to list local places of historic merit simply because an owner objects?
NoShould neighbours of local heritage listed buildings have a right of appeal on development applications that propose demolition?
YesShould buildings listed as Contributory Items in your council area receive better protection?
YesDo 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?
Independent with proper expertise and knowledgeWould 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?
AbsolutelyWhat are your personal suggestions for improving the way your council handles policy and planning?
More face to face discussions at council Ability to advise and on occasion direct CAPShould councils actively encourage individuals to nominate places for consideration as local heritage?
Yes
