Our new Strategic Plan

The Strategic Plan 2026-30 sets an ambitious vision for this period, underpinned by 4 key objectives.

1. Wider understanding of the value and diversity of cultural heritage in Victoria
2. An accessible Victorian Heritage Register that recognises and protects state-significant heritage in all its diversity
3. Partnerships and practices enabling inclusive, innovative and sustainable heritage conservation and management
4. A dynamic and respected Heritage Council with the resources and tools to maintain its independence and effectively fulfil its statutory responsibilities.

The plan includes a strong commitment to truth-telling in the way we communicate and conduct our work. It also prioritises collaboration with all levels of government, industry and the heritage sector so that the state’s heritage is valued and protected for generations to come.
