Heritage Planning

The Town's Heritage Planning division oversees heritage management throughout the Town and plays an active role in the identification and conservation of significant heritage resources, which can include buildings, natural resources, monuments, structures, and landscapes.

Heritage Planning provides a number of services, including:

• Management of heritage-related databases, such as the Aurora Register of Properties of Cultural Heritage Value or Interest
• Processing heritage designations under Part IV and Part V of the Ontario Heritage Act
• Processing heritage permit applications.  To submit a heritage application or check the status go to our online Portal. In order to access the portal, you must register as a user click on the register with Portal to create your account
• Overseeing heritage studies, such as Heritage Conservation District (HCD) studies
• Providing information relating to the heritage status of properties within the Town
• Assisting with managing change and development in such a way that it is sympathetic to significant heritage resources
• Managing programs and heritage initiatives, such as the Wood Plaque program

Further Information and resources are also provided below, and if you have any other questions you can feel free to reach out to Adam Robb, Manager of Policy Planning and Heritage, at arobb@aurora.ca.
