Friedensruh, 10 Waldau Court Doncaster

The Historic Buildings Act

On 13th April, Friedensruh, The Thiele homestead, was placed on the Register of Historic Buildings.
This register must not be confused with the National Trust Register of Classified Buildings.
It is still a new introduction, for the Historic Buildings Act only became law in l974, and is yet not generally known or understood.
When a building is placed on the Historic Buildings Register, that building is protected by law. The building may not be demolished or altered in any way, without approval from the Historic Buildings Council. As this could cause problems for the owner, there are provisions in the Act to allow for compensation and rate relief.
To place a building on the Register, a submission has to be made to the Historic Buildings Preservation Council. Submissions can be made by any organisation or private individual. All bodies with an interest in the building, such as the National Trust and local council are consulted, and the owner has the right to give information or make an objection. The owner may also apply at any time to have the building removed from the Register. The Register of Historic Buildings can be inspected at the Council's offices at 500 Collins Street, Melbourne, or the M.M.B.W.
Friedensruh is the first building in our city to be designated an Historic Building. It appears in the Register "No. 143A 'Friedensruh', Waldau Court, Doncaster".
