The Heritage of Goulburn

'From the Goulburn Desk 'by William Oxley


I’d like to discuss a topic that is particularly relevant to Goulburn, which is heritage. As a local government planner heritage is an important issue that consistently influences the decisions we make.

Heritage is such a deep and diverse aspect of planning that I could write pages and pages on the topic, however at this point I would like to focus on the main issue that heritage presents to a planner: conservation versus progression; essentially what are the advantages and disadvantages of preserving heritage sites?
