Abstract

Rail heritage covers a broad range of heritage items - buildings, works, engineering structures, rolling stock, movable heritage, rail lines, development of NSW, associated events and key persons. Rail Heritage is the largest collective group on the State Heritage Register and other heritage registers. It is characterised by high community support and enthusiasm. There is also a high level of redundancy of assets making adaptive reuse a key issue and protection from fire or vandalism. Under the new government structure and with the large number of private interest groups there is a complex ownership and management issue. Rail Corp has focussed its attention on developing a heritage asset management strategy for its rolling stock and movable collection. The Heritage Office supports this initiative and awaits its finalisation.
