Our city has a long and proud history of recognising our heritage places. Since the 1980s we have actively engaged with our community to support, identify and protect our heritage, publishing heritage studies and reports to assist in caring for our heritage.
‘Built heritage’ generally relates to items of heritage significance that are above-ground, and can include buildings, elements, moveable items, groups of items, distinct areas or landscapes (such as a heritage conservation area). It is distinct from archaeology in that built heritage elements are generally immediately visible and able to be inspected and assessed.
