Protect our heritage
In the transition to South Australia’s new planning system, hard won protections for our treasured heritage places are under threat. If newly proposed regulations are allowed, thousands of places are at imminent risk of demolition, with no right of objection or appeal for neighbours, councils or communities. More than half of our protected places are now at risk of being destroyed.
We need your support to prevent this mass destruction of our heritage.

The most progressive and enjoyable city’s to visit preserve heritage. Paris is one example.. The skill and craftsmanship in the construction of heritage buildings should be applauded not destroyed. We need creative architects who can build around these buildings incorporating new versions of old techniques.
Cheers Claire
Indeed Claire. Demolition of heritage places should always be a last resort. There are many examples of successful adaptation of heritage places large and small. Perhaps it is something that needs to be taught to more architecture students.
