Heritage Awards Launched


The Awards recognise development and restorations which maintain or enhance the City’s built environment, acknowledge the City’s unique heritage and contribute to the revitalisation of the City as an attractive place in which to live, work and play.
 
Any pre-1950s property or listed heritage item within the City may be considered. To be eligible it must be located within the City of Burnside, constructed prior to 1950 and/or a listed heritage item, with work undertaken in the previous five years. The owner of the property must consent to the nomination.

There are four categories and projects can be entered in multiple categories.

Restoration and Conservation

Projects that have involved sensitive restoration or conservation of an eligible historic building, fence or structure where the detail of the conservation is consistent and sympathetic with the age and style of the item. This may include outstanding skills by a tradesperson(s) or artisan in a restoration or conservation project.

Alterations and Additions

Projects that have involved sensitively designed alterations and additions to an eligible building. The alterations and additions should be undertaken with care in relation to the existing building while remaining distinguishable as a contemporary development.

Adaptive Reuse

Projects that involve the innovative and adaptive reuse of an eligible building. The work should also be sensitive to the age and style of the original building.

 
Research and Investigation

Outstanding documented local research in relation to an eligible building, or research that has enhanced the community’s appreciation of local history.

 
Applications close on Friday 31 October 2014. The judging panel consists of Elizabeth Little, Heritage Architect, Damien Schultz, Landscape Architect and Urban Designer and Colin Harris, Environmental Historian and member of the Burnside Historical Society.
