10.Introduction
This survey is about shacks and huts – typically small buildings that are primarily used for temporary living in remote locations, outside formal townships and often located to help people access a local resource (such as pastures for grazing, hunting or fishing areas etc). Today many shacks are used for holidays and recreation.
We are working on a project to assess the significance of some coastal shack settlements and would like to build a database of other projects and assessments undertaken around Australia to help with comparative assessment. We are also interested in learning about management solutions to the often vexed issue of continuing occupancy of shacks on Crown Land.
We would appreciate your contribution to building a picture of the heritage assessment work done to date on shacks and huts nationally.
This survey will take 10-15 minutes.
