Government

RBA collaborate effectively with asset and project managers, across State and Federal departments, agencies and Local Government Authorities, providing insights and analyses that aid decision-making and maximise value for money. 

Our stable and expert team are valued for the continuity and momentum they provide on longer-term planning projects such as Heritage Studies and Masterplanning.

These can be high-stakes projects facing multiple viewpoints, complex scenarios, and tension between what individuals and communities value. We provide independent, forthright heritage expertise and insights, whether targeted at a perceived ‘gap’ (thematic or geographical), locality, landscape, or entire municipality.  We are known for our objectivity and are regularly called upon by Authorities to support the development assessment process. 

RBA are proud of our very high success rate in achieving formal statutory recognition and protection for potential heritage places, thus providing a viable rate of return on the considerable investment made to undertake Heritage Studies. 

We provide Expert Witness evidence and heritage mediation services, bringing confidence, rigour and expertise. 

We also work with project managers across all levels of government on the future use of heritage assets, providing award-winning Interpretation, Conservation Works, Interior Design, Adaptive Reuse and Architectural Design services.
