- Abstract
Hall and McArthur (1993) believe that 'heritage can only be preserved for future generations if appropriate management policies and processes are developed and implemented'. This paper will examine Oamaru's establishment as a town in the 1850s in relation to heritage management issues and the retention in the 1990s of much of the town's distinctive 19th century limestone heritage. Recent global enthusisasm for issues has been matched with national and local initiatives developing and promoting New Zealand's eco-heritage resources for commercial and tourist purposes. The call is made for a more holistic approach to heritage management. Using the Oamaru Case Study as an example strategies are recommended which will ensure the integrity and sustainability of that heritage.
