What ever your heritage project we are here to assist. Country or city, desktop or fieldwork, we’ve covered most of New South Wales and ACT. Our advice and services are customised to offer the best guidance on how you can proceed, whatever your project type. We consult right across the scale from neighbourhood architectural practices to multinational developers. But don't take our word for it! Check out our testimonials from our clients.
We’ve worked with individual property owners to suggest how they can adapt their heritage-listed home. We’ve also spent years advising on how to mitigate heritage impacts across Sydney’s vast commuter rail network. Perhaps you’d like us to archivally document a former banana plantation on the north coast, or survey your solar farm deep inland for potential Aboriginal artefacts. Our team has assessed major infrastructure such as a heritage-listed dam, and researched a wooden beam unexpectedly located during minor excavation works. In every case we have quickly mobilised a team, prepared a report and delivered professional advice.
While we understand that your project is unique, you can benefit from our long and extensive experience.
The examples here are just an indication of how we’ve assisted our clients to meet their goals. Use the search bar above to see how we can help you, or explore our full range of services. For a personal response to your heritage needs, please get in touch.
EXCAVATION
TREADING LIGHTLY
IN PARRAMATTA
Diona Ward Joint Venture (DWJV) was appointed by Transport for NSW to deliver the Parramatta Light Rail enabling works. DWJV’s Construction Environmental Management Plan for this Critical State Significant Infrastructure project entailed sensitive handling of four heritage-listed sites in the Parramatta CBD. DWJV commissioned Artefact to prepare a Heritage Management Sub Plan, and to undertake archaeological test excavation and salvage excavation within the proposed impact footprints.
