AHS has undertaken assessments of thousands of heritage places, primarily for local and state governments.  The heritage places have included buildings, bridges, landscapes, cemeteries and heritage areas (neighbourhoods).  As with Conservation Management Plans, they have involved considerable historical research, physical investigations, comparative research with similar places, community consultation, and the preparation of statements of significance.
