Heritage items and places

Heritage includes the places, objects, and stories that connect us to our past. Understanding our heritage helps us understand how earlier generations lived, and who we are today. Preserving our heritage ensures that future generations can learn from these historical resources.

Eurobodalla’s diverse heritage includes:

  • buildings
  • objects
  • stories
  • landscapes
  • monuments
  • cemeteries and individual graves
  • conservation areas
  • relics
  • shipwrecks
  • bridges
  • streets
  • archaeological sites

The State Heritage Inventory and Aboriginal Heritage Information Management System (AHIMS) allow us to identify, manage, and conserve heritage-listed items and significant sites. The databases are also a great resource for:

  • natural resource management
  • land-use planning and regulation
  • archaeological surveys
  • development proposals
  • property purchases.

State Heritage Inventory

The State Heritage Inventory (SHI) holds records of statutory-protected heritage items in NSW. The database allows you to search and view heritage listed items and places, and supporting information. It also includes the State Heritage Register.

Search the SHI

A local item, place, or area can be nominated for listing on the State Heritage Inventory if it meets certain criteria.

Aboriginal Heritage Information Management System

The AHIMS holds records and information about Aboriginal places, objects, and other significant sites in NSW. The database lists these items as Aboriginal ‘sites’.

Search the AHIMS

The AHIMS also allows you to request:

  • archaeological reports and site cards
  • sensitive information under an Aboriginal heritage information licence agreement.
