Planning proposal for street name inlays

Summary

The planning proposal listed 493 street name inlays within the Woollahra Municipality as heritage items in the Woollahra Local Environmental Plan 2014. The inlays are usually located in the footpath or kerb and have historic and social significance for their construction in the 1930s as part of a civic beautification scheme.

The objectives of the planning proposal were:

• to recognise the local heritage significance of street name inlays;
• to provide statutory protection of street name inlays as local heritage items;
• to provide for the conservation of street name inlays.
