City of Wollongong

Items in our Council area that are 'heritage listed' are included in the Wollongong Local Environmental Plan 2009.

This includes many different types of items, such as private homes, commercial and public buildings, collieries, memorials and cemeteries, trees, natural areas and more.

Items in this list are also noted as having local or state significance.


 

Nominate a local heritage item

If you think there's a site in the Wollongong Local Government Area that has heritage value, you can nominate it for a local heritage listing. Anyone can make a nomination, including individuals, property owners, community groups and government departments.

Follow the steps below to nominate a site to be considered for the local Heritage Schedule.

  1. Read the Heritage Nomination Guidelines PDF, 671.83 KB
  2. Fill out the Nomination Form DOCX, 41.59 KB to the best of your ability
  3. Contact us using the enquiry form at the bottom of this page, and attach the completed nomination form.

Please note, making a nomination does not guarantee that Council will support your request, or that the item will be included on the Heritage Schedule.

The heritage nomination process can take a long time; usually it involves extensive research and assessment by Council's heritage staff, a Planning Proposal process, multiple reports to Council, plus public exhibitions and notifications.

When looking at nominations, we give priority to items that:

  • are likely to have local heritage significance
  • are part of a class or type of items that is not well represented on the Heritage Schedule
  • have the support of the owner for the nomination
  • are at risk or under threat.
