Heritage status consideration

In July 2023, an application was made to have the original Loreto school and convent building considered for listing on the WA State Heritage register – recognising the importance of the building to the history of the site, and to the broader community.

A heritage assessment was completed and lodged by Urbis on behalf of Loreto, and has now been supported by the Heritage Council. This support indicates the Heritage Council believes the former Loreto School site is likely to be of State significance.

The proposal will now be publicly advertised for a six week period, providing the community with the opportunity to provide input on the proposed heritage listing for the site.  

 The submission can be viewed on the Heritage Council website by scrolling to “Consultations open for comment – Heritage Act 2018 and Native Title Act 1993”. The Loreto application can be found on this list, and provides a link to the full draft register entry including the statement of cultural heritage significance.

To have your say on the proposal, submit your comments to HCWAregistration@dplh.wa.gov.au before the public advertising period closing date of 26 April 2024.
