Approachable and experienced, our Canberra team works across the ACT and beyond to uncover, articulate and protect the connections between people and place.

Experience and expertise

Since opening in 2006, the Canberra team has delivered hundreds of heritage projects across National, Commonwealth, and local heritage places.

We are particularly well regarded for our expertise in Commonwealth heritage — working with agencies, contractors, and institutions that require clear, credible, and consistent advice across multiple jurisdictions.

Delivering an integrated heritage management approach, the team offers a wide range of services including First Nations heritage, built and landscape heritage, archaeology and heritage resilience.

How we work

Integrated heritage management
We listen deeply and understand how to assess and manage places for their heritage value — at all levels of complexity, across many jurisdictions in Australia. We balance conservation with development, contemporary design with today’s requirements, and community values with legislative obligations.

First Nations heritage
We work with Traditional Owner organisations and other First Nations people to understand cultural values and develop cultural heritage management plans and interpretation plans that respect First Peoples’ cultural heritage and align with legislative requirements.
