Heritage lists

Heritage lists are official records that identify and protect buildings, sites, or areas of cultural, historical, or architectural significance. They serve to recognize the value of these places, ensuring their preservation for future generations. Being listed can help secure conservation efforts, prioritize maintenance, and sometimes provide legal protections against alterations or demolitions. These lists are created by government agencies or heritage organizations to retain the character and history of an area, balancing development with the importance of maintaining cultural identity and historical continuity.
