Understanding Heritage Surveys: A Guide to Identifying and Preserving Cultural Heritage

A heritage survey is a systematic approach to identifying significant heritage places within a designated area, encompassing Aboriginal, historic, and archaeological sites. This technique aids in decision-making for heritage protection, enhancing community identity, and boosting tourism. Conducted by local and state government bodies, heritage professionals, and community groups, surveys involve detailed investigations, community engagement, and thematic analysis. The outcome shapes planning schemes and conservation strategies, promoting the recognition and preservation of unique cultural heritage.
