The City of Belmont Heritage List defines the properties, places and trees that are considered to be of heritage significance. The Heritage List:
 

• Provides statutory protection for places of heritage;
• Includes a summary of major themes for specific periods, a thematic framework, explanation of the level of significance and the details for each property and place;
• Is required by and prepared in accordance with the Planning and Development (Local Planning Schemes) Regulations 2015.

This List will be reviewed during a formal review of the City’s Local Planning Scheme and Local Planning Strategy. As part of this review, the City will consider significant properties, places and trees which could be added or removed from the List.
 
As a member of the City community, you can request a property, place or tree be added or removed from the list. You can make this request at any time, and the City will then assess your request and respond accordingly.

Ascot Kilns and Chimney Stacks Site

The Ascot Kilns and Chimney Stacks, located at 80 Grandstand Road, Ascot, hold a great level of heritage significance.
 
This was the site of the first pottery works in Western Australia and now contains the largest known assemblage of kilns remaining in Australia.
 
At the 12 December 2017 Ordinary Council Meeting, Council considered a Local Development Plan and Design Guidelines to guide the redevelopment of the Ascot Kilns site. The Plan and Design Guidelines were prepared by the Department of Planning, Lands and Heritage on behalf of the landowner, the Western Australian Planning Commission (WAPC).
 
At this meeting, Council approved these documents, subject to modifications which included restricting the height of any development to 5 storeys or less. 
 
In light of this resolution, the WAPC has advised that the requested modifications will not go ahead at this time, due to market conditions and the potential impact on development feasibility. The WAPC have recognised that works to stabilise the kilns and stacks are required, and are currently investigating funding options to complete this work.
