Welcome to Heritage NSW.
Explore the Aboriginal, environmental, built and archaeological heritage of NSW and learn how to protect, celebrate and conserve it.
We work to protect, manage and celebrate heritage across NSW.
Our heritage is the places, objects and stories that we as a community have inherited from the past and want to protect for future generations.
Identifying and listing items of heritage significance are the first steps in protecting and managing those places and objects that we as a community want to keep.
Search for heritage in our databases and find heritage consultants, products and publications.
Find out if you need a permit or approval to do works, how to apply or if the works qualify for an exemption.
Our grants program helps owners, custodians, managers and communities to recognise, value and care for heritage.
Celebrating our heritage keeps communities together, passes on values, traditions, and meanings through the different generations. The celebration of Heritage keeps it alive.
