Advocacy Groups
The Heritage Alliance draws on its members’ knowledge and expertise to influence legislation, policy and guidance.
Our members shared interests are primarily gathered through our four advocacy groups; Spatial Planning, Funding, Inclusion and Learning, and Rural Heritage. These groups operate as the Alliance’s primary advisory bodies on policy issues including consultation responses as well as acting as information-sharing forums. Working Groups involve stakeholders from beyond our membership, as well as our members. Click on a panel below to find out more.Rural Heritage
