A new heritage impact assessment (HIA) framework announced earlier this month will see the public consulted on some development projects, in a move to introduce more transparency and accountability to heritage evaluation processes here.
While there is no standardised HIA format globally, the process generally involves external consultants assessing the heritage significance of a site, identifying impacts that a proposed development project would have on it, and recommending strategies to mitigate the impact.
