The only known change to a locally listed heritage item during 2008-09 is the removal of a shed from 50 Wallace Street, the site of Nomchongs store (former) as listed on the Register of the National Estate. This site is believed to be part of the original local listing for 44-46 Wallace Street as number 44 no longer exists under the current addressing and the listing should probably be updated to 44-50 Wallace Street. The demolition was approved by Council and the State Heritage Office.
Indigenous heritage
There are no listed Aboriginal Cultural Heritage sites in the Palerang Council area.
Current condition of heritage places
No recent information was available on the condition of heritage places in Palerang Council area, apart from the removal of a shed from the Braidwood property known as Nomchongs store as discussed above. Although each place listed in the Register of the National Estate (RNE) typically contains a description and condition statement, the latter usually relates to the date of listing or earlier, and thus for most RNE-listed places in the council area is not relevant to the current reporting period.
Resources for heritage identification and management
A management plan is reported to be in place for the London Bridge Homestead Group; it was prepared in 1984. No other management information was available for listed heritage places in the Council area.
During the past four years, community consultation has occurred through public meetings, community forums, information days and visits to community association meetings to develop and explain Council decisions. This consultation proved valuable in dealing with heritage matters associated with the complex issues of major subdivisions in Braidwood and Bungendore.
Council’s Heritage Conservation program works on the identification, protection and promotion of Palerang’s Aboriginal, European and natural heritage. Key activities for this function were:
- identification of heritage items for inclusion in the Palerang LEP
- provision of advice to the community through the Palerang Heritage Advisory Service
- ensuring that heritage values are acknowledged and protected throughout the Council area
- regularly reviewing heritage lists for relevance and accuracy.
A key focus for Council has been:
- preparation of a community-based heritage study for the western part of Palerang; comprising the thematic history completed in January 2008 and the heritage inventory completed in April 2009;
- provision of ongoing assistance to the Palerang Heritage Advisory Committee;and
- coordination of Heritage Week.
