Join us at this timely seminar presented by the RHSV’s Heritage Committee.
In the context of a major revamp of the Victorian planning system, currently the subject of a major parliamentary inquiry, this seminar asks how we can make positive use of heritage as we plan to house more people. How can we modify the Plan for Victoria to make full use of heritage as anchor and focus for new neighbourhoods?
