Statement of Significance

Lock-up, Avoca, forms part of a complex including a court house, police magazine and residence. The lock-up was constructed in 1867, presumably to the designs of the public works department if Victoria. Built in coursed bluestone with a gabled slate roof, the symmetrical structure has a gabled porch. Features are the plinth, sills and iron-grilled doorway, vents and corner detailing. The lock-up forms part of a complex of buildings important in the early history and townscape of Avoca. The lock-up is a representative example of a modest bluestone lock-up of the period. Architecturally, the structure is notable for its masonry work and its detailing, which is restrained and is typical of classically derived, vernacular designs by the Public Works Department during the period. Lock-up, Avoca, is in good condition and intact.

      LOCK-UP - Permit Exemptions

      General Exemptions:

      General exemptions apply to all places and objects included in the Victorian Heritage Register (VHR). General exemptions have been designed to allow everyday activities, maintenance and changes to your property, which don’t harm its cultural heritage significance, to proceed without the need to obtain approvals under the Heritage Act 2017.

      Places of worship: In some circumstances, you can alter a place of worship to accommodate religious practices without a permit, but you must notify the Executive Director of Heritage Victoria before you start the works or activities at least 20 business days before the works or activities are to commence.

      Subdivision/consolidation: Permit exemptions exist for some subdivisions and consolidations. If the subdivision or consolidation is in accordance with a planning permit granted under Part 4 of the Planning and Environment Act 1987 and the application for the planning permit was referred to the Executive Director of Heritage Victoria as a determining referral authority, a permit is not required.

      Specific exemptions may also apply to your registered place or object. If applicable, these are listed below. Specific exemptions are tailored to the conservation and management needs of an individual registered place or object and set out works and activities that are exempt from the requirements of a permit. Specific exemptions prevail if they conflict with general exemptions.
