People who are interested in maintaining the existing character of the area in which they live or concerned about the loss of local heritage will be interested in the Heritage 101 seminar in Wollongong hosted by the National Trust’s Illawarra Shoalhaven Branch.

Learn how to write a ‘cracking’ letter of objection to unsympathetic developments or find out what modifications you can make to your heritage listed property.

Heritage consultant Andrew Conacher and co-host Fiona Reynolds will walk you through heritage case studies, the NSW Heritage Act and proposed changes, The Burra Charter, Environmental planning and assessment, how councils assess DAs and how you can object to DAs.

Bring a USB to download copies of the material.

Saturday 13 May

Old Court House, Wollongong, 9-3pm

$15 per person. Morning and afternoon tea provided, BYO lunch.
