Heritage
The Heritage Management Protocol has been prepared to assist Queensland University of Technology and the Queensland Environmental Protection Agency to manage changes to the heritage registered Former Central Technical College portion of the Gardens Point Campus. Importantly, this study establishes a broad philosophy for adapting the buildings and their context, which should be an integral part of the any changes.
