FAQs

The proposed heritage listing of 12 Windward Avenue is to provide the site with the appropriate level of statutory protection and to recognise the heritage significance of the site. 

A comprehensive heritage assessment report prepared by an independent heritage consultant concluded that the site meets the threshold for heritage listing at a local level for its historical significance, historical associations, aesthetic significance, research potential, rarity and representative values.

Council seeks the following amendments to Mosman LEP 2012: 

• Insert a listing for 12 Windward Avenue, Mosman in Part 1 (Heritage Items) of Schedule 5 (Environmental heritage); and
• Amend the Heritage Map (Sheet HER_002) to identify a heritage item on the site of 12 Windward Avenue, Mosman.

Yes. You can make a submission, in writing to Council, before the close of submissions date of 2 June 2026, via emailing council@mosman.nsw.gov.au

All submissions will be available for inspection on Council’s document management system and website under Council’s Access to Information Policy.

Following public exhibition, Council planning staff will respond to any issues raised in a report to Council. Council resolves to make the LEP and issue it the Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure for notification and finalisation. 

Council will then prepare instructions for Parliamentary Counsel to draft the LEP and issue opinion that the LEP can be made.
