Advocacy
 |

 |
The Trust has been lobbying for the preservation of Victoria's heritage since 1956. Advocacy is a major priority for the Trust. As the largest community based heritage organisation in Victoria, the National Trust is the lead body that can launch campaigns to protect heritage places from threats to their significance |
|||
 |
The National Trust will frequently make submissions on matters before Heritage Council and Heritage Victoria. The National Trust is an independent and non-statutory organisation, and Heritage Victoria is a Victorian State Government agency and is part of the Department of Planning and Community Development |

 Planning matters- heritage permits, planning scheme amendments, planning panels |
The Trust monitors metropolitan Melbourne and regional and rural Victoria for planning issues that affect heritage places. We will advocate for inclusion of places in local heritage studies, we will appear at planning panels, advisory comittees and VCAT as necessary |
