Heritage exemption certificate
The Waverley Local Environmental Plan (WLEP) 2012 provides for certain minor works to (specific to heritage conservation areas and heritage items) be excluded from requiring development consent if a Heritage Exemption Certificate has been issued in accordance with Clause 5.10(3) of the WLEP.
A Heritage Exemption Certificate may be issued by Council if the works proposed to be carried out on a particular site are considered minor and do not have an impact on the significance of the heritage conservation area or heritage item.
If your application is approved, you will be issued a certificate which means a DA will not need to be lodged for approval of the works. If your application is rejected, you will be notified in writing.
The Certificate is by application only, and will be assessed by Council's Planning Department. A fee applies which is to be paid upon online lodgement.
Your application must be assessed and approval granted in writing before you can proceed with the proposed works.
