Owner’s Guide
The Heritage Council of Victoria and Heritage Victoria have developed an owner’s guide for people with properties listed on the Victorian Heritage Register.
Your Home
This section is for anyone living in an older home. Find out more about your home’s architectural history and features, how best to maintain it, what to consider if you want to make changes – including what permits you might need – and how to make it more energy efficient. Our series of technical and interactive guides offer a range of practical advice and case studies to help you restore, maintain and enjoy your home.
