ABORIGINAL And TOrres Strait Islander HERITAGE

Extent Heritage WA carried out archaeological and ethnographic surveys across parts of Western Australia’s Midwest in collaboration with representatives of the Southern Yamatji Native Title Claim Group.

Extent Heritage was engaged (in partnership with Lovell Chen) to prepare a Heritage Management Plan for Fremantle Prison - a place inscribed on the World Heritage List.

The managers of the TWWHA are now well-placed to implement culturally sensitive management regimes that meet the needs and expectations of Aboriginal communities, the Tasmanian State Government, ICOMOS, the International Union for Conservation of Nature, and the World Heritage Committee.

We are proud of the role that we have played in ensuring the dignified and respectful management of the Aboriginal heritage values embodied by the QVM. Our work has resulted in the place's heritage values being communicated and understood so that appropriate processes are in place to protect its diverse heritage values, while assisting the City of Melbourne to design and deliver its renewal program.

Our landscape-based approach was an excellent illustration of how Extent Heritage is responsive to the multi-layered heritage values of large areas and demonstrates our team’s ability to be receptive to the competing aspirations of multiple Aboriginal groups, as well as those of the local council, state government and local residents.

Our work yielded large quantities of highly significant archaeological data crucial to reconstructing our ancient past, while we worked closely with our client to minimise delays to the development of major road infrastructure.

Extent Heritage was commissioned to prepare a heritage interpretation plan for the Lake Macquarie Outdoor Recreation centre in Balcolyn, New South Wales.

Extent Heritage was commissioned to prepare a conservation management plan (CMP) for the State Heritage Register-listed Collingwood House, in response to planned restoration work and future adaptive reuse of the site.
