Last run January 2012, next scheduled for January 2014

This seven day Summer School is an intensive course looking at the broad issues of heritage management, and is intended for local government planners and heritage officers; commonwealth and state heritage officers; facilities, site and park managers; rangers, curators; others involved in heritage administration; and heritage practitioners such as archaeologists, architects, engineers and historians.

Scope

The school focuses on European cultural heritage in Australia, though the Burra Charter principles can be applied to most sites of cultural value. While emphasis is placed on the built environment, cultural landscapes and indigenous heritage are also addressed.  The school is designed to provide those working in the field with a broad overview of Australian cultural heritage practice, including the Burra Charter and conservation management planning.  The school stresses the multi-disciplinary nature of contemporary heritage management, covering a diversity of topics including community consultation and social value, interpretation and presentation of heritage places, and the maintenance of heritage buildings.

The school consists of theory sessions, several site visits and some group work.
