The Heritage Council is coming to Gympie
The Queensland Heritage Council (QHC) will be holding its last meeting of the year in Gympie tomorrow (Friday 2 December 2011) at the heritage-listed Australian Institute of Country Music at 26 Channon Street.
QHC Chair, Professor Peter Coaldrake, said the Heritage Council recognised the town’s outstanding contribution to the State’s heritage values.
“Gympie has a rich store of heritage and it is well known that the Gympie community puts great value on these places,” Professor Coaldrake said.
“Since September 2010, 19 places in the Gympie region have been entered in the Queensland Heritage Register.
“This is a wonderful endorsement of the heritage values of a town that has played such an important role in Queensland’s history.
“The QHC recognises and congratulates the Gympie Regional Council and other owners of heritage places in the Gympie region for their outstanding work in maintaining these places for future generations to enjoy.
“It is the owners who work hard to conserve these important heritage places, which benefits the wider community and provides us with a record of our past.”
While in Gympie, Professor Coaldrake and Mayor Ron Dyne will be officiating at a ceremony to recognise the owners of the nineteen places in the Gympie region that have been entered in the Queensland Heritage Register since September 2010.
After the ceremony, QHC members will travel to the heritage-listed Big Pineapple to inspect the redevelopment and meet with the General Manager, Paul Ziebarth.
The Queensland Heritage Council is the State’s independent advisor on heritage matters and determines what places are entered in the Queensland Heritage Register.
Places that are entered in the Heritage Register are considered of importance to Queensland’s history and are protected under heritage legislation.
