Premise was engaged by NSW Public Works (NPW) on behalf of the Teacher Housing Authority (THA) to prepare a Heritage Impact Statement (HIS) for a proposed refurbishment of the Police Station and Residence building located in Kangaroo Valley, NSW.
The HIS determined that the proposed works were considered minor in nature and are required for maintenance upgrades and structural integrity of the building. The proposed works were advised to be undertaken in accordance with scope of works provided including a structural report undertaken on the site. It concluded that the proposed works would not result in a significant impact on the heritage significance of the item.
It was advised through the HIS that, where possible, original materials and features be retained and restored using a like for like approach avoiding products or materials that may contrast with the existing building and its heritage features.
