TERRACE - History
Contextual History:
Alfred F Kursteiner, architect, is presumed to be of German extraction but little is known of his origins. He practised in Melbourne from 1853-1893, alone or in various partnerships with German-born C H O Bagge, Spencer, or J E Austin. He worked from a variety of addresses in the Collins Street vicinity. Kursteiner undertook a wide variety of work, including residences, schoolhouses and shops. He was invited to join the Victorian Institute of Architects in 1856.TERRACE - Permit Exemptions
General Exemptions:General exemptions apply to all places and objects included in the Victorian Heritage Register (VHR).

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.

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.
