Yarriambiack Shire Council engaged a heritage consultant to undertake the Yarriambiack Shire Heritage Review (the Review) as a part of the recommendation from the Yarriambiack Planning Scheme Review conducted in 2023.

The Yarriambiack Heritage Study was undertaken between 2012 to 2014 which included the preparation of a thematic history, 108 citations of individual places and 15 precinct citations, a local policy and a permit exemption Incorporated Document, and corrections to existing Heritage Overlay (HO) mapping errors. This work was a recommendation of the 2008 scheme review. The study was not adopted by Council or implemented into the Yarriambiack Planning Scheme.

The Review was adopted by Council on May 27 2026. The Review is in three volumes:

  1. Yarriambiack Heritage Review Volume 1 - Key Findings and Recommendations(PDF, 4MB)
  2. Yarriambiack Heritage Review Volume 2 - Thematic Environmental History(PDF, 24MB)
  3. Yarriambiack Heritage Review Volume 3 - Heritage citations(PDF, 31MB)

The next step will be implementing the recommendations of the Review into the Yarriambiack Planning Scheme.
