Local Heritage Nomination 2025

In response to the requirements of the Heritage Act 2018, the Shire of Dandaragan has engaged a heritage consultant, Laura Gray, to undertake a review of the 1996 and 2004 updates of the Municipal Inventory of Heritage Places.  As part of this work we are considering built places and sites of cultural significance.  

The Local Heritage Survey will include the re-assessed places from 1996 and 2004, and any other places that members of the community consider of heritage value. State Planning Policy 3.5 and The Department of Planning, Lands and Heritage’s Guidelines for the assessment of local heritage places (2022) provide a base line so that all heritage places throughout Western Australia are assessed at the same level. 

Places assessed as having a higher level of significance will form a “Heritage List” within the Local Heritage Survey. Owner consultation regarding “Heritage List” places will be an important part of the process.  

Your assistance in identifying any places you think should be recorded as part of the Shire’s heritage, would be much appreciated. Your contribution to the process is an opportunity to inform and be informed, involved and play a role in heritage recognition and conservation within the Shire of Dandaragan. 

Please complete the Nomination Form and return it to the Shire of Dandaragan administration building 69 Bashford Street, Jurien Bay or via email at council@dandaragan.wa.gov.au  4.00pm Friday 10 October 2025.
