[AFR Oct 2004] Heritage streetscapes

[Peter Parker]

An old article, but it might be of interest. It discusses the benefits and costs of suburbs and houses being declared heritage areas. The main point it makes is that it might be advantageous if whole areas are declared heritage, but not if only individual houses are.

Good article. Agree that heritage overlays can increase values by preserving the character and consistency of streetscapes.
