Protecting Our Heritage
Tiakina Nga Taonga Tuku Iho o AotearoaThe
protection and care of our heritage is a task shared by the people of New Zealand.
The
New Zealand Historic Places Trust recognises the need to work closely with the community and
local and national bodies in order to successfully carry out its role of managing
New Zealand’s cultural heritage. To achieve this, the NZHPT has particular
responsibilities for the conservation and promotion of Maori
heritage, as well as for the protection of archaeological
sites.
The value of co-operative alliances between the NZHPT and its many stakeholders,
including local authorities and the owners
of registered heritage buildings,
structures and sites, is recognised within the organisation.
Strategies
are currently being developed to further develop these relationships, with the
NZHPT looking to provide expert support through the provision of advice, consultancy
and training. |
