Context worked in a team of consultants led by Duncan Marshall Heritage Consultant to develop a Heritage Management Plan for the Acton Peninsula in Canberra. Context assessed the social and community aesthetic heritage values of this multilayered place. This process involved historical research, the application of an comprehensive online survey, in-depth interviews with past and present site users, and the analysis and assessment of values according to Commonwealth Heritage Criteria. The outcomes were presented in a report outlining the heritage values of the place, along with recommendations for their management. [Source: Context]
