The LGAQ is partnering with the State Government, through the Department of Environment, Science and Innovation, and Rockhampton Regional Council to deliver the 2024 Local Government Heritage Conference in Rockhampton in August.  

The theme for this year’s Conference is “Heritage in Queensland – then, now and into the future” with key details above: 

At the Conference, delegates will have the chance to explore important issues including heritage protection under the Queensland Heritage Act 1992, the protection of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultural heritage, the challenges of maintaining heritage values amidst the extent of urban change we are experiencing now and into the future, climate resilience and the impact of natural hazards on heritage protection and management, as well as the evolution of heritage protection systems and the future of the heritage protection in Queensland.    

The Conference program will feature council showcases, industry and State Government presentations, panel sessions and workshops, an optional networking function at the Rockhampton Museum of Art and Customs House and a guided walking tour of Rockhampton heritage places, visiting City Hall, Library School of Arts, and Walter Reid Centre.
