Community Based Heritage Study
Last modified: April 14, 2009 - 2:22 PM
Uralla Shire Council is undertaking a Community Based Heritage Study, having appointed the firm Michael Fox Architects to complete the study.
The community-based approach is that it provides an affordable means for communities to make a valuable contribution to the heritage study, with appropriate guidance from a heritage consultant. Members of the community will work alongside the consultant for the duration of the project, undertaking research, nominating items and considering recommendations for the future management and promotion of their local heritage items. Unlike other heritage study methodologies, ongoing community involvement gives an opportunity for the community to understand heritage management and council processes and to take substantial ownership of the study and its findings. This can reduce the likelihood of community conflict when the certain items on the study’s list of heritage items are recommended for adoption by council for inclusion in its local environmental plan (LEP).
Members of the community who are interested in this project or who have information they would like to supply are invited to fill out the inventory form available below for download and drop it back into Council to nominate items. A list is also attached of items already nominated.
