About the Conference
The 2024 regional Heritage Conference was jointly presented by the Department of Planning, Lands and Heritage, the Heritage Council of Western Australia and the City of Albany.
This year’s Conference theme ‘Destinations, connections and shared culture’ explores three sub-themes.
- How places and milestones are made meaningful, reimagined and represented.
- Shared culture: valuing all perspectives.
- Albany’s heritage as a destination and looking forward.
The diverse program will examine our State’s heritage from a wide range of perspectives and will be of value to all those with an interest in Western Australian heritage and culture.
The Conference was held over two days in picturesque Albany, on the 24 and 25 October 2024. Albany is rich in cultural heritage that includes an ancient Menang Noongar history, the site of the first port in the State, and an important connection to the ANZAC story, and marks the spot of the first European settlement in Western Australia.
The 2024 regional Heritage Conference provided an opportunity for professional and business development, alongside extensive networking opportunities for private owners of heritage places, those currently working within government, the heritage sector, academia, small museums or galleries or heritage tourism and interpretation.
