The City of Subiaco is reviewing the Local Heritage Survey (LHS) of the Daglish precinct. The Daglish Precinct is the triangular section of land bounded by the railway reserve, Hay Street, Selby Street and Lonnie Street, as shown on the Daglish Precinct map.

What is the Local Heritage Survey?

The purpose of an LHS is to:

  • identify and record places that are, or may become, of cultural heritage significance in its district
  • assist the local government in making and implementing decisions that are in harmony with cultural heritage values
  • provide a cultural and historical record of its district
  • provide an accessible public record of places of cultural heritage significance to its district
  • assist the local government in preparing a heritage list or list of heritage areas under a local planning scheme.

The LHS is not an instrument for development control and the planning scheme provisions currently applicable remain.

How can I be involved in the Daglish Local Heritage Survey (LHS) review?

Between Friday 3 November and Monday 4 December 2023 you can help record and celebrate the history and heritage of Daglish by nominating places for inclusion on the LHS. You can nominate your own property or any other property or place in the precinct.

You can nominate a place for inclusion in the LHS by completing the the online nomination form, alternatively you can print and submit a hard copy nomination form (located in the document library).

    As part of the Daglish Local Heritage Survey (LHS) a free historic walking tour of Daglish was held on Saturday 18 November.

    Over 50 people joined the walk which was led by heritage expert Annette Green. The walk started at Cliff Sadlier Memorial Park then meandered through Daglish ending at Dom Serra Grove (corner Hay and Jersey Streets).

    We heard forgotten stories of infectious disease cemeteries, poultry farms, egg laying competitions, the Daglish Village shopping centre and the Government horse yards. Interestingly, the oldest house in Daglish is still standing (just!). Built in 1922 (before the houses near the railway were constructed) at 621 Hay Street (opposite McDonalds).
