Extent Heritage recognises the value of built heritage to our nation’s place-making. Our heritage buildings, landscapes and objects enhance our lived environment and add value to new development.
Extent Heritage works with clients in both the private and public sectors on projects of all sizes and levels of complexity, from small-scale residential development to large-scale infrastructure projects.
We bring a collaborative approach to our work. We undertake impact assessments, provide creative design advice, identify adaptive re-use options and devise heritage interpretation responses as part of the development process. We assist our clients to achieve compliance with conditions of development consent and provide guidance on physical conservation during and after development.
We have particular expertise in the preparation of conservation management plans—a common condition of approval—and we have specialist skills in the conservation of former industrial sites, including the management of collections and machinery.
