Heritage Council of NSW expressions of interest

The Minister responsible for heritage is seeking to appoint three (3) members to the Heritage Council of NSW. 

The Heritage Council is an independent statutory body that works to ensure the promotion, conservation and protection of heritage in NSW. The Heritage Council recommends items for listing on the State Heritage Register, supports conservation and adaptive use, and builds community understanding of heritage in NSW.

We are looking for individuals from a variety of professional backgrounds to contribute to the outcomes delivered by the Council. 

Under the Heritage Act 1977, members of the Heritage Council are to be persons who, in the opinion of the Minister, possess qualifications, knowledge and skills relating to any of the following areas: Aboriginal heritage, archaeology; architecture; the building, development and property industries; conservation of environmental heritage; engineering; NSW or Australian history; local government; moveable heritage; natural heritage; planning; property, planning or environmental law; property economics; rural interests or cultural landscapes.

We are looking for people with broad knowledge and skills and with a passion for heritage. We would particularly welcome nominations from Aboriginal people, younger people and those from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds.

The Heritage Council meets eight times a year in Parramatta, with option for teleconferencing.  Some out-of-session and/or off-site meetings may also be held.  Members are remunerated in accordance with NSW Government guidelines.
