An archival recording may be required as a condition of consent under the Heritage Act 1977 before approved changes can be made to a State Heritage Register-listed item.
All archival recordings must be prepared according to the format outlined in these new guidelines.
An archival recording is often made up of a photographic representation of the heritage item, accompanied by base plans and an explanatory report. In the past, these were often printed documents. We now request archival recordings in digital format only, as a combined PDF file.
Archival recordings that are part of a condition of consent must be submitted online via the Heritage Management System. We no longer accept archival recordings as hard copies, emailed copies or digital copies on a USB or hard drive.
