Heritage Building Survey

Local Government Heritage Building Survey

This survey is being conducted as part of the Heritage Skills Project, in conjunction with the newly formed Heritage Skills Association WA.

The Heritage Skills Project aims to address the need for heritage skills training and accreditation in WA. This is necessary to ensure that our precious heritage buildings can be conserved and will also provide vital employment opportunities, all over the State, for a diverse range of people.

The survey's purpose is to ascertain the level of need for specialized heritage building skills in WA, at a local level. In this regard, gaining an understanding of the needs of Local Government is very insightful. The information from this survey will be used for presentations and documents, to further Heritage Skills Training Accreditation in WA.

Thank you for your time and please contact myself (Yolanda Cool) should you wish to discuss the Heritage Skills Project further by email at: enquiry.heritageskills@outlook.com

The information obtained in this Survey will be treated confidentially.
