If your roof is in that area, the original roof form and cladding are part of how the Council describes it.

Slate Roofing around Summer Hill
The Council's statement lists, among the key elements: original gabled roof forms with cladding of slate or corrugated steel and original chimneys. The statement is published on Inner West Council's website under the running head Draft Comprehensive Inner West DCP 2016, and the Council's DCP page lists the Comprehensive DCP 2016 as the current plan for Ashfield, Croydon and Summer Hill. It does not say that any particular house is inside the area.
A key-element list describes an area, not a roof. It does not say a given roof must stay as it is, and it does not say what is exempt. Ask the Council whether the property is in the area and what it needs before the work.
Permits and Inner West Council rules
Whether a roof job here needs approval is for the council to confirm: repairing or replacing non-structural roof cladding is exempt development under the state's code, but not on a heritage item or in a heritage conservation area.
