- Abstract
The un-saveable cannot be saved. However this statement will not conclude this paper. Happily, some of the apparently un-saveable can in fact be transformed into the saveable, and this paper provides some advice. Eight of the most helpful techniques are presented. Step one is a heritage listing for your site. Buying time is valuable because it gives you time to develop options. Seek partners. To succeed, a sustainable new use or uses will have to be created. Look for other comparable successful projects for inspiration. Some structures may have branding or landmark qualities. Securing finance is difficult but a wide range of options can be tried. Success will also hinge around ability to raise the profile of the site.
