Torres Shire, QLD - Community Engagement and Cultural Mapping
ENHANCING LOCAL HERITAGE PROTECTION IN REGIONAL AUSTRALIA
Client: Torres Shire Council
The Project
Extent Heritage undertook an onsite community forum and engagement program to identify cultural heritage values and significant sites in the Torres Shire local government area. This was undertaken as part of a planned update of the Torres Shire Planning Scheme, ensuring the inclusion of culturally important sites on the shire’s heritage list.
Value Unlocked
Our work has assisted the local community and shire council to identify those places that are important to them, while providing clear guidance to future developers in the region.
