3. Conservation Philosophy and Approach
3.1 Australia International Council on Monuments and Sites (ICOMOS)
Australia ICOMOS (www.icomos.org/Australia/) is the Australian non-government professional heritage organisation that promotes best practice in caring for culturally important places, and was responsible for developing and establishing the Australia ICOMOS Burra Charter,1999 (the Burra Charter) (www.icomos.org/Australia/burra.html). Members include administrators, archaeologists, architects, engineers, landscape architects, historians and planners, all of whom are involved with heritage conservation.
Advisors must be fully conversant with current conservation principles and practice applicable in Australia and it is recommended that an advisor is a full member of Australia ICOMOS.
3.2 The Burra Charter
The Burra Charter is the widely accepted reference document for heritage conservation standards, philosophy and methodology in Australia. An understanding of the Burra Charter helps individuals (including heritage advisors) with the care of places of cultural significance. Using the framework of the Burra Charter, more informed decisions about the management of the place can be made.
The Burra Charter was first developed by heritage practitioners in 1979 and has been widely adopted, informing the development of state and local heritage systems and legislative regimes. It underpins Australia’s local, state/territory and national heritage management systems.
Full members of ICOMOS practice in accordance with the Burra Charter and the Ethical Commitment Standard for ICOMOS Members (Revision, November 2002, Madrid – www.icomos.org/australia - Membership).
