Notice of Public Advertisement of Local Heritage Survey Nominations
The City of Bunbury is reviewing its Local Heritage Survey (a record of places with historical or cultural value in our city) and we’re inviting the community to take part. The review intends to update the following:
- Thematic history - This is the big picture story of Bunbury, how the city grew and changed over time. We’re updating it to better recognise First Nations history as the foundation of Bunbury’s story, alongside more recent heritage, so the story is more accurate and complete.
- Place records - These are the individual listings for heritage places around Bunbury. We’re checking each one to make sure the information is correct and that each place is in the right significance category – from Category 1 (highest) to Category 4 (lowest).
This review will ensure the Local Heritage Survey aligns with the State Heritage Council’s Local Heritage Survey Guidelines (2022).
Get involved by nominating new places you believe should be included or providing feedback on existing heritage places, including any incorrect or missing historical information.
Have your say by Monday 6 April 2026. You can submit your nomination or feedback using the forms below, email it to info@bunbury.wa.gov.au, or drop it off at the Administration Building (4 Stephen Street, Bunbury).
