WHAT IS CONSERVATION?
Conservation means all the processes of looking after a place to retain its cultural significance.
Conservation can include:
– maintenance, including checking buildings for faults or pests, cleaning and gardening; – repairs, including replacing parts of a property that have decayed over time; and – upgrades or changes to a place that are respectful of heritage values and significant attributes.
