Extent Heritage understands that the environment that we live in comprises networks of connected values—aesthetic, historic, scientific, social and spiritual. Sometimes those values are embodied in a place (tangible heritage). Sometimes they exist in their own right, distinct from places and things, like music and stories (intangible heritage).

Extent Heritage brings a holistic approach to heritage management, understanding that some communities—especially Aboriginal communities—value things and places in different ways, and that effective impact assessment and mitigation may require thoughtful community consultation and innovative responses. Extent Heritage prides itself on being able to develop collaborative conservation strategies that are not just sustainable but also practical and achievable.
