* Architecture
* The building, development and property industries
* Conservation of environmental heritage
* Engineering
* NSW or Australian history
* Local government
* Moveable heritage
* Natural heritage
* Planning
* Property planning or environmental law
* Property economics
* Rural interests or cultural landscapes
We are looking for people with broad knowledge and skills and with a passion for heritage. We would particularly welcome nominations from Aboriginal people, younger people and those from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds.
The Heritage Council meets eight times a year in Parramatta, with option for teleconferencing. Some out-of-session and/or off-site meetings may also be held. Members are remunerated in accordance with NSW Government guidelines.
