About the Government Asset Managers program
Many of our state's most historic places and objects are owned and managed by Victorian Government agencies.
These important assets enhance our understanding of the state's history and provide an unbroken link to Victoria's past.
Heritage Victoria's Government Asset Managers program helps agencies to be responsible and proactive custodians by:
- Promoting greater understanding of statutory obligations under the Heritage Act 2017.
- Preparing resource materials that promote best practice.
- Providing opportunities to network and share information.
