A group of concerned Devonport citizens formed Devonport Heritage 12 years ago to lobby for the preservation of the unique historic value of Devonport precincts. The aim is to encourage the preservation and enhancement of the built heritage, its scale and its setting in the natural environment.
Submissions are made to the North Shore City Council Annual Plan and conservation management strategies. The Devonport Ward Planner submits to our sub-committee applications for dispensation for building consents and alterations to historic listed buildings for comment and recommendations. Public awareness is encouraged by meetings with invited speakers e.g.Historic Places Trust Officer, North Shore Public Library archivist demonstrating how the history of a house can be traced through rates records and display of panoramic views of Devonport showing changes over the past century.
