Projects

• Duntroon Dairy: In December 2003 funding was awarded for a package of conservation, enhancement and presentation works at Duntroon Dairy and Mount Pleasant. Since that time, work has been progressing. In September 2004, Chief Minister John Stanhope unveiled the new interpretive signage at the Duntroon Dairy Open Day.

• Heritage Trails: Canberra Tracks are three self drive heriage trails for the ACT that will produce strong storylines connecting the many sites for the visitor and local, so that they gain an appreciation of our heritage. By diversifying tourism product and improving the quality of experience through on-site signage and an accompanying brochure, it is hoped that length of stay in Canberra is extended and that heritage is celebrated and seen as worth conserving. To be launched later in 2006, the 3 tracks are: Ngunnawal Country: The Limestone Plain and Looking at Canberra

• Colverwell Graves: In 2005, ACT Heritage assisted the former ACT Forests in the restoration of the Colverwell Graves site. Work included restoring the head and footstones into an upright position, restoration of the surrounding post and rail fence and installation of new stock proof fence and interpretative signage and opened the site to the public.
