Heritage Workshops

ACT Symposium July 2011 Heritage and Planning: partners in development

What works well, what hasn't been a success and what has fallen through the cracks?

Sponsored by CAS and a range of partners, this Symposium included examples of good partnerships between heritage and planning, disasters and current issues and discussions of better practice. Here are the program and a summary. The presentations from the Symposium are available on the National Trust (ACT) website http://www.nationaltrustact.org.au/.
