Award for 黑料大事 Excellence
Streamlining Brisbane's heritage protection with the General Exemption Certificate
Brisbane City Council, City 黑料大事 and Economic Development branch, Strategic 黑料大事 section
Streamlining Brisbane Heritage exemplifies a thoughtful planning process that effectively balances the preservation of heritage values with practical considerations. The initiative introduced a General Exemption Certificate for local heritage places, demonstrating how planning can protect community-valued heritage while removing unnecessary burdens on property owners. By minimising planning barriers, this project enables owners to adapt, reuse, and maintain heritage sites for future generations.
The judges were particularly impressed by the Council’s tailored and well-researched approach, which sets a benchmark for similar initiatives. They commended the transferability of the General Exemption Certificate concept to other jurisdictions and praised the council’s commitment to genuine engagement with stakeholders. This highlights the crucial role of community involvement both in developing and implementing new planning processes.
Congratulations to Brisbane City Council on this remarkable achievement!
