Moreland Heritage Gap Study

Collectively they tell us about the suburb’s development pattern, but also hold personal stories to the community.

Context (now GML Heritage) was engaged by Moreland City Council (now known as Merri-bek City Council) to conduct a Heritage Gap Study. The study involved extensive fieldwork, followed by comparative assessment and historical research, to document places of local significance and prepare them for inclusion in the Heritage Overlay of the Planning Scheme. The team surveyed places in Brunswick and surrounding suburbs.

Context have worked on several larger and smaller projects for the Council since the 1980s. In 2016, we conducted a large review of all previously identified places in the City of Moreland which had not been previously addressed. The recommendations of the review are now being followed through in the current study.
