HERITAGE ADVISORY SERVICES

Heritage Advisory Services assist Local and State Governments and the community to best conserve and manage the heritage assets of an area. Consultation and evaluation with each State and Territory of Australia of current services has confirmed the effectiveness of these services across Australia.

McDougall & Vines regularly provide advice to Local and State and Commonwealth Government Authorities on:

• The extent and significance of heritage places and local conservation areas, with the provision of guidelines and recommendations for the management and appropriate development of these areas

• Architectural and conservation advice for property owners

• Planning process input/development application approvals

• Interpretation of legislation at local level

• Development of policy initiatives

• Delegated authority for places listed in the State Register (in certain states only) and assistance with management of State heritage listed properties

• Conservation of Council owned assets

• Assistance with State funding programs

• Preparation of heritage surveys and inventories

• Assistance with State Government in achieving statutory responsibilities and interpretation of State Legislation at local level

• General monitoring of the condition of heritage places

• Encouraging heritage listed property owners with assistance and encouragement to apply for grants
