Conservation Management Plans (CMPs)

A Conservation Management Plan is often required by the relevant agencies for listed properties
or when applying for grant funding. The plan will:
- provide owners with advice and guidance to manage a significant historic property or landscape.

If you require a Conservation Management Plan for a property it will include:
- a detailed history of the site,
- a description of materials used in the construction of the building/s or other features,
- a history of changes to the site,
- an outline of how to undertake any required alteratios in a manner that retains its historical significance,
- a schedule of works.

Statements of Heritage Impact
These are required where development or renovation may impact upon a significant property.

Statements provide information on:

- the history of the site, - the importance of the site, - impact that may arise from the proposed development, - management recommendations.

Comber Consultants can:
- establish the specific requirements of the determining authorities,
- consult with Council,
- develop the history of the site to enable a full assessment,
- assess the significance of the property,
- assess potential impacts on that significance,
- provide you with the Statement of Heritage Impact for presentation to the Local Council
with your Development Application. This report includes management recommendations
including ways to avoid or minimise impacts. Comber Consultants works with FORM
Architects (Australia) Pty Ltd to provide you with the high quality architectural descriptions
and/or drawings where these are required - www.formarchitects.com.au

Heritage Listings
Heritage Listings identify places of heritage significance. They assist communities to keep in touch
with their historical background and to protect buildings for future generations.

Statutory Heritage Registers such as the NSW State Heritage Register maintained by the NSW
Heritage Office, assist in managing changes while ensuring that heritage significance is not lost.

Nominations for listing require a detailed knowledge of the standard heritage significance criteria, a high
level of experience with historical research (including comparative analysis of similar heritage items) and
familiarity with listing procedures as practiced by local councils and the NSW Heritage Council.

Comber Consultants can prepare your nominations for the State Heritage Register (under the
NSW Heritage Act 1977).
