Heritage Impact Statements
Heritage Impact Statements
Gosia Gabrys Architect prepares Heritage Impact Statements (HIS) to support planning applications for sites affected by a Heritage Overlay or included on the Victorian Heritage Register. Each report provides a clear assessment of heritage significance and a policy-based justification for proposed works.
What we do
review of the Statement of Significance and planning controls
analysis of existing buildings and contributory fabric
assessment of proposed works and heritage impacts
clear justification aligned with planning policy
response to council heritage advisor comments
How we work
We work closely with clients, architects and planners to address heritage considerations early, supporting well-resolved design outcomes and a smoother planning process.
Heritage Impact Statements are required for most planning applications affecting heritage places across Melbourne and Victoria.
