SUMMARY

Amendment C210 proposes to apply the Heritage Overlay (HO430) to 1 Montrose Road, Montrose.

The amendment was placed on public exhibition from 7 July 2022 to 8 August 2022 and six submissions were received. Two submissions supported the amendment but requested changes and one submission opposed the amendment. 

At the Ordinary Meeting of 11 October 2022, Council resolved to seek the appointment of an independent Panel to consider submissions to the amendment.
