The Government’s Build Back Better initiative allocated funding to 22 local councils to develop ‘local heritage asset lists’, also known as local listing.
Receiving local listing provides a level of protection to heritage buildings through the planning system as ‘non-designated heritage assets’.
Local councils are asking residents for nominations for these lists through Local Listing Projects.
If you are concerned about the future of Victorian or Edwardian buildings in your area which have heritage significance, but are not recognised by another designation such as national listing, now is the time to contact those local councils taking part in the local listing schemes below to secure its their conservation.
