Overview
A planning proposal was placed on public exhibition to list the residence at 13 Section Street, Mayfield (the site) as a local heritage item in the Newcastle Local Environmental Plan 2012 (NLEP 2012).
Background
On 19 July 2024 an interim heritage order was made for 13 Section Street, Mayfield.
A detailed heritage assessment was prepared and found the dwelling at 13 Section Street, Mayfield warrants listing as a local heritage item.
We prepared a planning proposal to list the dwelling in schedule 5 of the NLEP 2012. On 23 July 2024, Council resolved to commence the planning proposal process. The planning proposal was forwarded to the Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure (Department) for a Gateway determination under Section 3.34 of the EP&A Act. A Gateway determination was issued on 20 August 2024. This allows the planning proposal to progress to public exhibition. It also requires consultation with Heritage NSW.

The planning proposal was placed on public exhibition from Monday 16 September to Monday 14 October 2024. Public exhibition has now closed.
