Leaders in heritage and archaeological consulting

Sydney Melbourne Perthextent.com.au

Extent Heritage are leaders in heritage and archaeological consulting. We have provided heritage advice to Australia and the Asia Pacific region for over two decades.

We are set apart by our dedication to quality research, investment in our people and close engagement with our clients to understand their needs, manage their risks and provide excellent heritage outcomes.

We are passionate about conserving, understanding and interpreting heritage because it tells the stories of people, cultures and communities. We believe our approach can provide a valuable asset to our clients and the community when it is integrated into project design – not only preserving aspects of what came before but adding character, colour, flavour and a significant point of difference that can elevate a project into the future.

Heritage is a cultural asset. It belongs to everyone and is linked to cultural traditions, our physical environment and community life.

With teams based in Sydney, Melbourne and Perth we provide a single point of service for all your heritage assessment and management requirements on projects across Australia and the Asia-Pacific.

Program Reviews

Our Asia-Pacific work includes heritage assessments and management planning for World War II battlefield sites along the Kokoda Track in Papua New Guinea, expert contributions to the International Forensic Team working in East Timor and specialist missions assessing World Heritage Properties for UNESCO and ICOMOS in the Asia Pacific.

Project Spotlight - Lost Battlefield of Etoa

The Lost Battlefield of Etoa in Papua New Guinea is a significant but fragile site associated with the Kokoda Campaign of 1942. The difficult terrain, presence of human remains, soldiers’ weapons, personal effects and unexploded ordinance all combine to create a complex yet fascinating heritage site.

Kokoda is one of the most significant Australian wartime sites. The story of Kokoda is one that should be remembered - it encompasses mateship, courage, and sacrifice.

Extent Heritage carried out an archaeological survey of the battlefield, identifying artefacts and earthworks, in connection with local oral histories which expanded our understanding of this significant site in Australia’s military history. The project included completing a Heritage Management Plan which identified the significant aspects of the site and provides practical management options for the future.
