The President’s Prize was awarded to Dawn Fraser Baths, entered by TKD Architects while an Aboriginal heritage study, the launch of a restored 1940s steam locomotive, and an adaptation of a state-of-the-art regional art gallery were also among the winners recognised at the 2022 National Trust Heritage Awards.
The National Trust Heritage Awards is an annual celebration of outstanding practice in the field of heritage, awarding excellence in conservation, protection, and interpretation of Aboriginal, built, natural and cultural heritage during the past year. The Awards is the signature event of the Australian Heritage Festival in New South Wales, co-ordinated by the National Trust and proudly supported by the NSW Government through Heritage NSW.
Chief Executive of the National Trust (NSW) Debbie Mills advised “I would like to congratulate this year’s winners – and all entrants – for their perseverance and dedication to heritage. We received an exceptional number and quality of entries, all of which showcase how much there is to appreciate, acknowledge and celebrate.”
NSW Minister for Environment and Heritage, James Griffin added “the winning projects remind us not only of the importance of protecting our shared past, but also the ways in which we can bring heritage to life for all the people of New South Wales to enjoy and explore.”
Heritage NSW's Executive Director, Sam Kidman congratulated all the winners and noted “these Awards provide much-needed acknowledgement of the work that goes into heritage conservation and protection. We look forward to seeing the benefits of these projects in communities across New South Wales for years to come.”
Matthew Devine presided as Chair of the jury for the National Trust Heritage Awards in 2022. Judges on the panel included: Barrina South, David Burdon, Dr Siobhán Lavelle OAM, Kathryn Pitkin AM, Lynn Collins and Peter Salhani.
