Abstract

Some types of industrial heritage present unique issues in terms of the assessment of heritage significance - items which are members of a class such as timber road bridges, railway carriages or sewerage/water infrastructure. Whilst items may have individual heritage value, the class itself may also be of value. From an engineering perspective, however, individual members of a class may be almost identical in terms of design and construction. The paper outlines issues associated with assessing classes of heritage items, individually and as a set. Are items of equal heritage value if designed and constructed in the same way? How many examples of a class should be included in statutory listings like the State Heritage Register? The paper provides background information about the State Heritage Register, including the representation of industrial heritage on the Register. A brief explanation will then be given on the use of the Heritage Council's assessment criteria to establish the significance of an item and class of items.
