Abstract

Management of active and redundant industrial heritage sites, including buildings, structures, infrastructure, landscapes, settings and equipment has been and will continue to be a challenging area of heritage conservation. Most heritage sites of an industrial nature are either under threat or will be under threat in the future as they become redundant and obsolete. Collectively these sites form a large part of the heritage of the areas in which they are found and they are the most difficult of all heritage sites to protect, retain, conserve, fund and find appropriate uses for. Most successful retention and conservation programs for industrial heritage places arise from large-scale redevelopment works where retention of some part of a place is required through a consent process or as one-off
actions of committed individuals or groups to save a particular site or feature.

Industrial and engineering built heritage and infrastructure has not received the same focus as private or government non-industrial buildings, landscapes or precincts. Consequently much of our engineering heritage will disappear and making decisions on what to try and retain and how to manage it is important if this aspect of our heritage is to survive.
