South Fremantle Heritage Area – Update of Heritage Listings and Review of Heritage Area

Are you a South Fremantle resident or own property in the area?

Heritage in Fremantle is an integral part of our city’s identity and our point of difference. Alongside Fremantle’s many unique and highly significant individual heritage places, we are also fortunate to have a large concentration of houses, bungalows, terraces, duplexes, cottages, commercial buildings and industrial buildings that all contribute to the character of our suburbs, areas and streetscapes and contribute significantly to what makes Fremantle, Fremantle.

The South Fremantle Heritage Area – Update of Heritage Listings and Review of Heritage Area project is the first of a rolling Update of Heritage Listings program which has been previously noted by Council (Ordinary Meeting of Council 23 March 2022). The South Fremantle Heritage Area – Update of Heritage Listings and Review of Heritage Area project is being undertaken as a pilot project to ensure that the ongoing updates are carried out in a well thought out, accurate, and time efficient manner.

Previous Engagement

During September and October 2023 we undertook an engagement project with the purpose of:

1. Informing the community about the project and to provide up to date information about the heritage listings that are relevant to Fremantle.
2. Gaining an understanding of what the community values in terms of heritage within the South Fremantle Heritage Area.
3. Inviting the community to contribute information to their heritage place record.

Current Engagement

The current engagement is to update the Local Heritage Survey, Heritage List and establish an identification of contributory and non-contributory places for the South Fremantle Heritage Area based in the knowledge of what the community value about their heritage area.

During May and June 2024 we are undertaking the engagement project with the purpose of:

1. Providing heritage listing and heritage area information to individual place owners and occupiers upon request
2. Providing the opportunity to individual owners to meet with a heritage officer
3. Inviting comment from affected landowners and occupiers on the proposed modifications to the Local Heritage Survey (LHS) and Heritage List, and the recommended contributory and non-contributory places for the South Fremantle Heritage Area
