People-Centred Heritage
Extent Heritage is a firm that places people at the centre of heritage management. We specialise in built and urban heritage, archaeology, cultural and historic landscapes, Aboriginal cultural heritage, and storytelling through heritage interpretation.
We are set apart by the collective strengths of our people, our commitment to high quality, our connections with local communities, and our close engagement with clients to understand their needs and unlock value in their projects.
Our Queensland heritage consultants have expertise in the preparation of Aboriginal cultural heritage management plans (under the Queensland Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Act 2003), and archaeological survey, excavation and community engagement to assist proponents to meet their cultural heritage duty of care.
Our built heritage specialists make significance assessments, identify adaptive re-use options, prepare heritage impact assessments, and develop practical and effective conservation management plans for heritage places – many of which are listed on the Queensland Heritage Register.

RECENT NEWS
Meet Extent Heritage Senior Heritage Advisor Coral Hardwick. Coral works with our dedicated Sea Country team to tell the stories beyond the shoreline.
The stories of Sea Country go beyond the tangible and the visible. Coral’s work is about the places that existed before the sea levels rose, and Dreaming and deep time stories.
Earlier this month, the Australia ICOMOS Jim Kerr Address was held in Brisbane for the first time ever. Our very own Andrew Sneddon facilitated a discussion with some of the founding parents of the Australian heritage profession: Meredith Walker, Jane Lennon, and Peter Marquis-Kyle. You can catch up on the whole conversation here:
The process of biodiversity offsetting has existed in Australia for several decades, yet it has rarely been applied to cultural heritage places. Here we consider whether and in what circumstances offsetting of cultural heritage impacts may be possible or appropriate.
One of the concerns voiced about offsetting for cultural heritage is that no two cultural heritage places are equivalent – each is in some way unique.
