Heritage Defined

Heritage is what we have received from the past. It shapes our present identity and provides insight for our future.

Heritage includes a range of activities in the areas of stewardship, preservation, research, education and engagement. Within this context these activities must exhibit sensitivity to:
 

• the indigenous natural environment;
• the impact of the interaction between human activity and natural environments; and
• differing perspectives regarding objects, ideas, places and traditions.
