- Abstract
Over the past few years considerable effort has been made around Australia to identify, list and conserve places of industrial heritage significance that have played a major role in the economy and development of the Country. There are some excellent examples around Australia where this has been achieved such as in the case of the Powerhouse Museum in Sydney and the old Melbourne Sewage works at Spotswood now part of the 'Scienceworks' museum. These, are however the exceptions. Today the challenge is to conserve places that have little potential for government funding either capital or recurrent, are often in private ownership and can only be conserved in the context of an economic return often against quite extraordinary odds. This paper sets out the fundamental issues involved and how they have or can be addressed in respect of any place, using specific examples from Western Australia.
