Heritage

Our heritage program has been developed to provide experienced tradespersons with the knowledge and practical skills required to work on historical buildings. The program focuses on the Burra Charter which outlines a standard of practice to advise clients, make building related decisions, undertake conservation and restore buildings of cultural significance.
