Social Value: Iconic Melbourne Landmarks

THE CHALLENGE
Heritage places are defined by people, not just fabric. Heritage Workshop has researched social value for some of Melbourne’s most complex and culturally significant sites, including Federation Square, Flinders Street Station, the MCG, the Nicholas Building, and Queen Victoria Market.

OUR APPROACH
Our methodology has been refined through international collaboration with leading academics and practitioners:

► Global Best Practice: We apply rigorous social research methods to capture the "intangible" connections that standard heritage assessments often miss.

► Community Foregrounding: We move beyond architectural history to document how communities actually use, value, and fight for these spaces.

THE OUTCOME
We provide a robust evidence base for managing change. By clearly articulating social significance, we help clients and authorities build stronger heritage places that remain relevant to the communities they serve.
