The Centre for Heritage at Oatlands is an initiative of the Southern Midlands Council (SMC) that focuses on:
The Centre for Heritage has two branches:
The Southern Midlands Municipality includes many examples of 19th Century architecture from grand old homesteads to convict built cottages. The town of Oatlands has Australia’s largest intact colonial townscape and collection of military, administrative, industrial and residential buildings. The surrounding farming landscape of the Southern Midlands is characterised by remnants of the convict probation system and large pastoral holdings, some with intact examples of colonial homesteads and outbuildings and others with many buildings in varying states of disrepair.
Recognising its unique heritage attributes and the challenges in maintaining such public and private assets, the Southern Midlands Council (SMC) has for over a decade, been consistently working towards a more integrated strategic approach to heritage management. SMC was motivated to develop this business because of its strategic objective of building on its heritage base to generate employment and business growth and because of its large stock of heritage assets requiring conservation and restoration work.
