Heritage items and places

Heritage consists of those places, objects, customs and stories that we as a community have inherited from the past and want to hand on to future generations.

Eurobodalla’s heritage is diverse and includes buildings, objects, stories, cemeteries and individual graves, monuments, specific places and larger areas, landscapes, archaeological sites, shipwrecks, relics, bridges, streets, and conservation areas.

Heritage gives us a sense of the way of life of earlier generations. It enriches our lives and helps us to understand who we are today.

Aboriginal Heritage Information Management System

Heritage NSW maintains the Aboriginal Heritage Information Management System (AHIMS). It includes:

• information about Aboriginal objects that have been reported to Heritage NSW
• information about Aboriginal Places which have been declared by the Minister for Heritage to have special significance with respect to Aboriginal culture
• archaeological reports.

As well as providing valuable cultural information for conserving and protecting local sites and heritage, AHIMS can be helpful for natural resource management, land-use planning, cultural heritage assessments, archaeological surveys, development proposals, property purchases and oral history projects.
