What's being decided?

We’re seeking community feedback on the draft Heritage Standard for the Mount Torrens State Heritage Area to ensure future development respects the heritage values of the town.

Once approved, the final Heritage Standard will be used by Heritage South Australia to guide development decisions in the Mount Torrens State Heritage Area. Your feedback will help inform the final Heritage Standard for the Mount Torrens State Heritage Area.

Background

We’re developing Heritage Standards for all South Australian State Heritage Areas to ensure that each area has a standard that is fit for purpose, is consistent with the Planning and Design Code and reflects each area’s Statement of Heritage Significance.

Mount Torrens is an outstanding example of a 19th century settlement and was designated as a State Heritage Area in 2002.

The Heritage Standard includes:

  • a description of the heritage features of the Mount Torrens State Heritage Area
  • principles guiding how the heritage values of properties, open spaces and the character of the area can be managed

The Heritage Standard will:

  • guide Heritage South Australia advice when assessing development applications that may impact on the heritage values of the area
  • provide advice to property owners planning to restore, alter or develop their property within the State Heritage Area
