If you own a property listed on the Heritage List or a contributory place within a heritage area you may be eligible to apply for funding through the City of Subiaco heritage grants fund.

One of the ways the City celebrates its local history and heritage is through the Local Heritage Survey (LHS). The LHS provides a cultural and historical record of the area and tells the story of the development of the district.
The City recently completed a review of the LHS for the Triangle Precinct resulting in the inclusion of an additional 34 places. The Triangle Precinct is the area bounded by Thomas Street, and Nicholson and Rokeby Roads and has the highest concentration of heritage buildings and character streetscapes in the City.

Heritage Assessment of places proposed for inclusion in the Chesters’ Subdivision and Kings Road Heritage Area
The City is currently investigating a proposal to expand the Chester’s Subdivision and Kings Road Heritage Areas. As part of this process a heritage assessment of the properties proposed to be included in the expanded heritage areas has been undertaken. A copy of the assessment can be viewed here.
It is intended that a report requesting permission to formally advertise the proposal to expand the heritage areas will be presented to Council at an Ordinary Council Meeting in early 2022.
Have you wondered what your property looked like 100 years ago? You can find out using a free online resource launched by the State Records Office of WA.
With the ‘RetroMaps’ site you can search by address, look for your house and compare the old plan with today’s aerial.
Using this resource you can see your property “now and then”, including how your house has changed and also your neighbourhood. Discover where people kept their chooks, vines, and wells, and which homes had windmills, stables, cowsheds and tennis courts.
