HERITAGE
About the Redfern Waterloo Heritage Taskforce
The Redfern Waterloo Heritage Taskforce was established at the beginning of 2010 to recognise the broad extent of local heritage in Redfern Waterloo that has significant value for both the local community and the wider public.
Its purpose is to identify cultural, natural and archaeological opportunities for conservation and re-use in Redfern Waterloo.
At the heart of the Taskforce’s creation is the enhancing of public understanding about the history of the area, and its significance to residents, workers and visitors.
This includes the promotion of the heritage and culture of this area with the community, as well as with tourism, education and recreation activities.
Heritage Projects
A project based approach has been chosen in order to achieve a broad and comprehensive treatment of the area’s diverse heritage values.
If you have an interest in history and heritage matters and would like to contribute to the conservation of our heritage, you are invited, as an individual or as a working party, to nominate a Heritage Project.
Individuals who wish to participate but do not wish to nominate a distinct Heritage Project should contact the Heritage Project Manager (details below) who will seek to match interests and skills with proposed Heritage Projects.
Heritage Projects will be assessed and approved by the Taskforce prior to their commencement.
To be considered by the taskforce all Heritage Project nominations must address the selection criteria available below. Download the advertisement for heritage projects.
Nominations close Thursday 25 February at 5 pm.
