Heffernan outsprinted St George's Joanne Arancibia in the opening scratch to set the tone for the meeting.
She then outlasted Dole in the tempo race, before defying an Arancibia challenge in the final sprint of the elimination event.
It meant she had the maximum 120 points heading into the final leg, the points race, which Heffernan won to secure a perfect result.
"It was great to get out there and finally get a race in," Heffernan, who has been focusing on the road rather than track cycling, told Cycling NSW. "We had six girls, so it was a bit different racing than if it was a big field but everyone gave it their all. It was pretty tough out there.
"I'm doing more road this season, so I have a couple of country opens - there's Tolland (Wagga) next - and then I'm working towards the Tour of Brisbane and a few others."
