Family and Community Services Minister Gabrielle Upton has said the heritage of Millers Point properties is strongly protected by state government and City of Sydney Council laws and regulations.
“The heritage protections for Millers Point cannot be ignored, and to say otherwise is simply false,” Minister Upton said.
“All the properties on sale in Millers Point that are heritage listed must be preserved and maintained in accordance with all the relevant local council regulations and state law.
The owner of any heritage listed property in Millers Point is required to meet statutory obligations set under S118 Minimum Standards of Maintenance and Repair of the Heritage Act, 1977.
“In addition to being subject to the Heritage Act, all Millers Point properties are addressed by the Local Conservation Area in the Sydney Local Environment Plan (LEP), administered by the City of Sydney Council,” Ms Upton said.
“The Heritage Act also controls any proposed changes to the physical structure of properties and the area’s landscaping.
“As a result of being subject to both the Heritage Act and the LEP, proposed modifications to the properties require the approval of both the Heritage Council of NSW and the City of Sydney Council.
“These standards are applicable to all State heritage listed buildings across NSW. The Millers Point properties are in no way exempt from this process,” Ms Upton said.
“In addition to the powers the authorities have to ensure minimum maintenance standards, each property will be sold with a Conservation Management Plan (CMP), endorsed by the Heritage Council of NSW.
“The CMP contains a periodic maintenance schedule with the further recommendation that the owner works with a heritage professional to periodically update the schedule. CMP’s themselves are subject to periodic review.
