50 Dyson Street, Kensington

Decision: Classification of church remains at "considerable significance".

At its 14 December 2021 meeting, Council voted against the reclassification of the Church of St Martin in the Field and Durbridge Hall at 50 Dyson Street Kensington on the City's Local Heritage Inventory.

Minutes of the Council meeting are available on the City's website. The refusal of the reclassification concludes the progression of the application for 50 Dyson Street, Kensington. Thank you to everyone who participated.

Background: Feedback sought on 50 Dyson Street, Kensington - Memorial Church of St Martin in the Field and Durbridge Hall

An application was received from the owners of the property to reclassify the place from being of ‘considerable significance’ (Management Category B) to ‘little significance’ (Management Category D), as described in the City’s Local Heritage Inventory. If approved, this would have seen 50 Dyson Street removed from the City’s Heritage List and reclassified to 'little significance' (Management Category D). This would allow the City to make a decision on a separate application that has been received for the demolition of buildings on the site.

We asked: Tell us what you think about the reclassification?

The City sought feedback from nearby property owners, residents and the wider community about the reclassification. The feedback, along with the heritage reports and a structural report, was considered as part of a report presented to Council for its consideration and decision making.
