Heritage beyond sites and buildings. Considering the heritage values of significant landscapes.
Cultural landscapes are significant places that show evidence of human interaction with the physical environment. They may be landscapes that have been physically shaped by humans to reflect important design principles or they may have organically evolved through the interaction of people and nature over time. Such landscapes can provide insights into how societies, including our contemporary society, interact with their environment and how they intentionally or otherwise modified it through their actions.
With our head office in the designed landscape of Canberra, our team is very conscious of the potential value of cultural landscapes and the role they play in Australia’s history and identity.
Our team of specialists can deliver:
- Archival research (including images, photographs, and maps)
- Photographic (archival) recording
- Community and Stakeholder consultation
- Cultural Values mapping
- Significance assessment
- Conservation planning
- Interpretation advice
