Community-Based Heritage Study

Our Heritage Study makes recommendations for the ongoing management and protection of the places in Byron Shire that have heritage value.

From 2004 to 2006, we conducted a study to identify important local heritage sites in the Byron Shire Local Environment Plan.

We also provided suggestions for the continued care and preservation of these heritage places.

The community-based study methodology was chosen because it ensures that the community is:

• Consulted about its heritage. 
• Actively involved in researching and nominating items and places of heritage significance.
• Involved in considering recommendations for their management and promotion.
