Awards

There are several awards that recognise excellence in the building, conservation and promotion of South Australia's heritage. There are also awards for tourism operators that promote a better understanding of history, heritage or culture.

The annual award program of the Australian Institute of Architects (SA) includes a category that recognises excellence in a built or conservation planning project involving conservation or adaptive reuse of a heritage structure.

The South Australian Tourism Awards includes a category that recognises tourism operators that promote a greater understanding of history, heritage or culture.

The Property Council of Australia Innovation and Excellence Awards includes a Heritage and Adaptive Reuses category. It recognises innovation and excellence in re-design/redevelopment that provides a new use for an existing building. Entry is open to members of the Property Council of Australia only.

Some local councils also operate heritage incentive schemes which include awards. Contact your local council for more information.

Acknowledgement of Country

The state government acknowledges Aboriginal people as the First Peoples and Nations of the lands and waters we live and work upon and we pay our respects to their Elders past, present and emerging. We acknowledge and respect the deep spiritual connection and the relationship that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have to Country.

We work in partnership with the First Peoples of South Australia and support their Nations to take a leading role in caring for their Country.
