At Converge Heritage + Community, we recognise the importance of protecting and celebrating Australia’s historic and built heritage. Our Non-Indigenous Cultural Heritage services support the sustainable management of heritage places through every stage of a project—providing expert advice that balances regulatory requirements with community values and design outcomes.
With over two decades of experience, our team has delivered heritage services across urban, rural, and regional contexts—from city centres and civic landmarks to rural landscapes, industrial infrastructure, and heritage-listed schools, churches, and wharves. We understand the complexities of heritage legislation and planning frameworks at the local, state and federal levels, and help clients make informed decisions that support project success while respecting cultural significance.
Our approach is collaborative and outcomes-driven. We work alongside architects, developers, planners, engineers, and government agencies to integrate heritage management into broader project visions. We also engage directly with stakeholders and communities to ensure local histories and cultural values are documented, respected, and reflected in planning, design, and interpretation.
Whether your project involves refurbishment, adaptive re-use, major development, or policy planning, our team offers the technical expertise and strategic insight to help you move forward with confidence. We’re committed to protecting the tangible and intangible elements of Australia’s shared history—ensuring that heritage continues to shape, inform and enrich the places we live, work and visit.
