Heritage Conservation
The heritage of the Archdiocese is a rich and important one including a wonderful legacy of buildings and objects that from time to time need attention to arrest deterioration. Conservation can entail structural repairs, repair of stained glass windows, restoration of statues or chalices, and so on.
The Heritage Officer can advise on the conservation and management of buildings and objects identified in the Cultural Heritage Inventory of the Archdiocese of Hobart, including assisting in the selection of, and liaising with, appropriate conservation architects, engineers and artisans.
The Heritage Officer can also assist with the preparation and management of submissions for external funding for conservation projects, and prepare submissions for the inclusion of significant buildings on the national, state and local government heritage lists, where such inclusion may make possible financial assistance.
The Heritage Officer is also responsible for maintaining the Cultural Heritage inventory of the Archdiocese of Hobart, numbering around 750 items.
