Heritage Victoria grants permit for redevelopment
In April 2012, Heritage Victoria granted developer SMA Projects a permit for its proposed redevelopment of the former Yorkshire Brewery site.
Heritage Victoria did not require any changes to be made to the plans submitted by SMA.
As the brewery site is on the Victorian Heritage Register, the applicant was required to seek a permit from Heritage Victoria. This is in addition to the requirement to seek a permit from Council for the redevelopment.
Heritage Victoria asked Council for its comments on the heritage impact of the proposal. At a Special Council meeting on 8 November 2011, Council decided to tell Heritage Victoria that it objected to the redevelopment on heritage grounds. Here is a media release about Council's decision.
The proposal still requires Council approval before it can proceed.
