We've lodged a National Heritage Listing nomination, currently under consideration. Nominations are subject to considerable review and research by the national team, prior to any outcome and this may take a number of years.
The nomination is based on substantial and complex research and work conducted by Dr Jacqueline Durrant (historian) and Deb Kemp (architectural historian). Ms Kemp is also Council’s Heritage Advisor and has been very involved in the project from a building perspective and with the Heritage Victoria permit requirements.
Members of the national team have visited Beechworth and expressed a strong interest in the Precinct.
