The Council has engaged Ecology and Heritage Partners to undertake a review of the heritage values at Fisherman’s Flat. Ecology and Heritage Partners were asked to:
- Review existing citations for places within Fisherman’s Flat
- Review the recommendations of the BoQ Planning Scheme Review (Lovell Chen 2021) as they relate to Fisherman’s Flat
- Confirm or modify the ‘contributory’ and ‘non-contributory’ classifications within Fisherman’s Flat
- Assess previously unidentified heritage buildings
A draft of the review, by Ecology and Heritage Partners, was made available to allow the community to review and offer feedback. An in-person consultation session was held at the Queenscliff Hub on 9th March 2023. During this session Fisherman’s Flat landholders and other interested parties had the opportunity to ask questions of Oona Nicholson, Director and Principal Heritage Advisor at Ecology and Heritage Partners.
A number of written submissions were received in response to the request for feedback on the draft document. Submissions have been forwarded to Ecology and Heritage Partners who are reviewing and making changes and corrections. A final draft of the document is expected in mid July 2023.
