HERITAGE CALL TO ACTION
Save our heritage from intense development: write to the minister nowYes, let’s support more housing in places where people want to live. But places will become far less sought after if we forget what makes them desirable in the first place. If we destroy heritage to build housing, Melbourne will become ‘Hong Kong without the view’, a collection of soulless high-rise buildings. Heritage makes Melbourne marvellous and makes our regional towns and cities attractive as tourist beacons and signposts to our history. Heritage enhances a neighbourhood’s soul and character, and provides focal points and historical perspectives. We need housing and heritage, housing that preserves, respects and is integrated with heritage.
