Eager to reduce heritage loss in your local area? Find out all you ever needed to know at this one day seminar.

Then, this seminar is for you.

Co-hosted by Heritage Solutions and the National Trust’s Illawarra Shoalhaven Branch, this one-day seminar will cover:

• Heritage – what is it?
• The National Trust – where does it fit into advocating for Heritage?
• The existing NSW Heritage Act and proposed changes.
• The Burra Charter – what is it?
• NSW Environmental Planning and Assessment Act – its history.
• Local Environmental Plans (LEPs) – provisions for Heritage.
• Planning Provisions – what are their impact on heritage?
• How do Councils assess Development Applications?
• Objections to Development Applications – how do you write a good one?
• What can you do to a heritage-listed property?
• Heritage Case Studies – Braidwood NSW, Lake Wobegon Minnesota, Napier NZ

Andrew Conacher and Fiona Reynolds will bring their own flair to the seminar; not only will you walk away armed with new information, but you will have had fun throughout the day. Copies of the material will be made available on the day, so bring along a USB stick for downloading!
