Yarra Ranges is rich with heritage, and Council’s first ever Heritage Strategy will set out our role for the identification, protection, management and celebration of heritage. It will formalise positive heritage measures already in place and identify priorities for Council and the community.

The Heritage Strategy will outline Council’s position on heritage including high value buildings, significant trees, places of significance, Indigenous cultural values and other aspects of heritage. It will guide Council's decision making and future work through a vision, objectives, principles and will include short, medium, and long-term actions covering a 10-year timeframe.
