What the results tell us for Upper Lachlan Shire

Changes to the listed heritage estate for Upper Lachlan Shire over the past four years show that:

four places have been removed from the Register of the National Estate (Wollogorang, Wollogorang Garden, Wombeyan Caves and the Lake George Quaternary site). The reason for this is the resiting of these sites to a different Shire;
one place has been removed from the State Heritage Register (Hillas Farm Homestead and outbuildings);
one place has been removed from the s. 170 heritage list of NSW Government departments and agencies (Gunning Railway Signal Box);
one place has been removed from the LEP (Hillas Farm Homestead and Outbuildings, Bannaby and St Matthews Church at Bannaby); and
186 items of heritage significance identified through the 2008 heritage study were added to the draft LEP

During 2008 a comprehensive heritage study of the Upper Lachlan was undertaken and a draft report placed on exhibition. From this document 186 items of heritage significance were added to the draft LEP document. Both the draft heritage study report and the draft Local Environmental Plan were put on public exhibition. The draft heritage study report can be found on Council’s website although the call for submissions closed on 20 August 2009.

Condition of known heritage places

No information is available on the condition of heritage sites during the reporting period and little information on condition prior to the reporting period either. The condition of many sites has not been updated since they were listed on the Register of the National Estate.

Resources for heritage identification and management

Over the four year period since the previous Regional State of the Environment Report a heritage Tourism Masterplan was written and approximately $13, 000 spent annually on heritage projects through a Heritage Grants program.

A Community Heritage Study has been commenced with a $25,000 budget to assess the heritage places of the Shire.
