Title: Imprints of the past: the role of archaeology in cultural landscape management

Biography: Nerida Moredoundt is an architect, author and artist with over 25 years’ experience in heritage, conservation and interpretation. She is the Principal Architect at element, a multidisciplinary consultancy in the fields of planning, heritage, arts and culture, engagement, place and design. She is also a member of the Heritage Council of WA and a heritage specialist on the State Design Review Panel. Nerida has been instrumental in the application of the World Heritage cultural landscapes framework in Western Australia.

Abstract: This presentation looks at the World Heritage framework for identifying and managing cultural landscapes. It includes a discussion of how Australian practitioners have influenced the theory and practice of cultural landscape management and why this framework has been introduced into the management of heritage places in Western Australia. The role of archaeology in the assessment and management of cultural landscapes is an important one that extends beyond understanding values to embedding opportunities for cultural activities on country. Nerida will explore the methodology and outcomes of cultural landscape management plans through a series of case studies. She will introduce the Rottnest Island/Wadjemup cultural landscape management plan, which was the first plan in WA to be underpinned by the provisions of the UNESCO Operational Guidelines for cultural landscapes. This plan has played a pivotal role in advancing reconciliation on the Island and has been followed by a number of similar plans in urban and regional settings.
