The Heritage Council’s mission is to engage, educate and advocate to develop a wider understanding of the vital contribution that our heritage makes to our social, environmental and economic well-being.

Board

The skills and the commitment of the members of the Board of the Heritage Council are an invaluable conduit of ideas and energy that enable the organisation to lead, respond and deliver effectively. The application of knowledge and experience of board members has brought a real return for a minimal investment over the years.
