Queensland Heritage Regulation 2015

The purpose of this code is to provide for the conservation of local heritage places by—

preventing the demolition or removal of local heritage places, unless there is no prudent and feasible alternative to the demolition or removal; and

maintaining or encouraging, as far as practicable, the appropriate use of local heritage places; and

protecting, as far as practicable, the materials and setting of local heritage places; and

ensuring, as far as practicable, development on local heritage places is compatible with the cultural heritage significance of the places.

In considering whether there is no prudent and feasible alternative to the demolition or removal of a local heritage place, the local government that is the assessment manager or responsible entity under the Planning Act for the assessable development must have regard to—

safety, health and economic considerations; and

any other matter the local government considers relevant.
