What is a heritage inventory sheet?

A Heritage Inventory Sheet is the record of information that supports and justifies the heritage listing of an item. All inventory sheets in NSW are required to confirm with the SHI template and uploaded onto the SHI database managed by Heritage NSW for public access.

Heritage inventory sheets contain the primary information that describes the item and identified heritage significance. This includes the item name, property address, physical description, record of modifications, current condition, local themes, historical notes, a statement of significance, an accurate heritage assessment in line with the NSW heritage significance criteria, current (and past) photographs and a defined curtilage.
