This list should not be interpreted as representing the gamut of iconic and treasured heritage buildings in Glebe. Most of the items are listed because they were threatened or seriously at risk of demolition by neglect and thus became the subject of Permanent Conservation Orders.

The City of Sydney’s Local Environment Plan includes the above items but also lists a significant number of other Glebe buildings for their heritage merit. This list can be viewed at LEP Items of Environmental Heritage

The City has also designated seven specific zones in Glebe as Conservation Areas.

The National Trust has designated 50 items (or groups of items) in the Glebe Urban Conservation Area. Although the Trust classification carries no statutory authority, it carries significant moral weight. The Trust listing can be viewed at National Trust Register
