Heritage Standard for the Penola State Heritage Area

Consultation has concluded

Have your say on the draft Heritage Standard for the Penola State Heritage Area.

What's being decided?

We’re seeking community feedback on the draft Heritage Standard for the Penola State Heritage Area (Petticoat Lane) to ensure future development respects the heritage values of the area.

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

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.

Declared a State Heritage Area in 1997, Penola (Petticoat Lane) contains small-scale, nineteenth century cottages set on large allotments that illustrate the work and lives of Penola’s early colonial settlers. The area also contains the Woods MacKillop Schoolhouse which is considered one of the most significant sites associated with the life and work of Mary MacKillop, who has been beatified as a saint by the Catholic Church.

The Heritage Standard includes:

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

The Heritage Standards 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
