Reports

Landscape Heritage Report

AILA Landscape Heritage Report - Volume 1-2 (2018)

The Australian Institute of Landscape Architecture (AILA) has released the NSW Landscape Heritage Listing Report which builds awareness of landscape heritage issues and to develop a foundation approach to identifying significant landscapes.

The final report, funded by the NSW Heritage Council, is a consolidation of work undertaken over two and a half years by authors Christine Hay, Colleen Morrison and James Quoyle which aimed articulate an approach to the identification, assessment and conservation of significant cultural landscapes.

The study also goes some way to redressing the gap found in local and state heritage listings and initiates a non-statutory database of significant landscapes for AILA NSW as well as a bibliography of cultural landscape references. The AILA Heritage Landscape Conservation Listing Project Report has been submitted to the Office of Environment and Heritage with recommendations on ten locations in NSW to support future heritage listings determinations.
