Beaumaris Demolition

The permit to demolish the property at 27 Mariemont Avenue Beaumaris was issued by a private building surveyor and did not require Council approval.

The property was not covered by heritage controls. While it was identified in a 2007 heritage study, in 2007 and 2018 Council abandoned planning scheme amendments to introduce a heritage overlay on this and other mid-century properties following strong opposition and division in the community.

Council will shortly introduce a voluntary process for owners to nominate their mid-century homes for possible inclusion in a heritage overlay.
