He has worked in consultancy firms, government organisations, and in private practice. Peter is now a Director of Romey.Knaggs Heritage, an independent heritage consultancy that cooperates closely with GML Heritage on a number of projects.
Peter specialises in the assessment and management of heritage buildings and places. He has provided strategic input and coordinated the development of heritage assessment reports for significant heritage sites.
He has been responsible for critical heritage input to the business case and environmental assessment stages of major infrastructure projects. Peter’s skills enable the innovative resolution of heritage issues and outcomes that realise operational objectives, and he is regularly called upon to appear at the Land and Environment Court as an expert witness.
Peter is a former member of the Tasmanian Heritage Council and the NSW Heritage Council Approvals Committee, and is currently on the Board of AusHeritage. Since 2011 he has presented a series of workshops intended to train local planners, architects and public servants in contemporary best practice management of heritage sites in George Town, Malaysia, and Kinmen, Taiwan.
‘Our cultural heritage is all around us, it’s not something separate nor is it just about the ‘past’. I can think of no more rewarding vocation than working in cultural heritage, and the confidence that I can make a difference has sustained me throughout my professional life.’
