How to read, interpret and understand a heritage and character report

Heritage impact assessment is a method by which the impact of development on the cultural heritage significance of a place may be assessed. It is akin to other kinds of environmental impact assessment and forms a mandatory part of the development assessment process under the Planning Act.

Topics to be covered in this seminar include:

• the statutory regime
• heritage impact assessment methodology
• relevant assessment codes
• the structure of a heritage impact report
• who is “qualified” to do the work
• how to brief a consultant
• what to look for in a completed heritage impact report
• what heritage planners and architects wished town planners knew
