2024 ACT Heritage Oration
About
Heritage - The Power of Place and PurposeThis year’s ACT Heritage Oration will be delivered by the Hon Ted Baillieu AO, Chair of the Australian Heritage Council. He served as Premier of Victoria and Minister for the Arts from 2010 to 2013.
The annual ACT Heritage Oration was established by the National Trust (ACT) to celebrate World Heritage Day, which is observed around the world each year on 18 April. The Oration provides an opportunity for a prominent heritage leader and thinker to deliver an address aimed at raising awareness and stimulating discussion about the current state and future directions of heritage nationally and in the ACT.
The venue, the Shine Dome, was the first Canberra building to be added to the National Heritage List, for its historical and architectural significance.
The Oration will commence at 6pm and refreshments will be served afterwards.
It is supported with funding from the ACT Government and is a Canberra and Region Heritage Festival event.
