Conservation Planning
Praxis Environment has undertaken detailed conservation management plans on a number of significant (and often substantial) historic heritage places. Praxis follows the ICOMOS Australia Burra Charter process coupled with the conservation planning process espoused by J.S. Kerr's 'The Conservation Plan' to assure best-practice and to satisfy permit authorities in the planning process.
