Lake Margaret Power Scheme (THR#10863)
This year has seen a change in direction and The continuing work on the review of entries on the vision for the Tasmanian Heritage Council to Heritage Register has been complex and challenging.

We have also updated the location details of a further 46 places, and found several places that had duplicate entries, so we removed the unnecessary entry.

Glover’s work is recognised for the realism with which he represented the utterly new topography, the vegetation, and the light in which he immersed himself at Patterdale. Curators at both the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery and the National Gallery of Australia describe Glover as the first distinctive Australian landscape painter and the most significant artist in Australia before 1850. The heritage values of both the homesteads and Glover’s original land grants are being conserved through the ongoing efforts of the current owners. The Heritage Council commends the owners for their passion, vision, and custodianship of these farms, and for their community spirit in helping protect this important cultural landscape for generations to come.

20 TASMANIAN HERITAGE COUNCIL STRATEGIC PLAN 2015-2020 Our Plan
The Heritage Council has been identifying, protecting and promoting Tasmania’s historic heritage places since 1997. The Heritage Register is a wonderful collection of rich stories and experiences from Tasmania's past that are ingrained in our present and will inform our future. Building the Heritage Register has allowed us to engage and connect with people from many walks of life, with varying views and inspiring ideas. This engagement allows us to respond to ideas and concerns, and to look towards the future and create a new direction based on strong input from the community. Our strategic plan focuses on three priorities over the next five years to enhance the way Tasmanians identify, protect and most importantly engage with the State's rich historic heritage. Our theme is to help people truly understand and appreciate the value of Tasmania's historic heritage. Together, our goals and theme are wrapped into a single vision – Helping bring Tasmania’s historic cultural heritage to life. The actions within this plan focus on engaging and collaborating with owners, architects, government, developers and site managers. It’s about encouraging people to understand that embedded in the fabric of each place are the stories of our past. Protecting those stories allows us to protect a much loved aspect of our Tasmanian way of life, along with the social and economic values that will flow from sharing our stories on the national and international stage.

STRATEGIC PLAN 2015-2020 TASMANIAN HERITAGE COUNCIL 21 Amplifying Connections GOAL 1: Redefine the Tasmanian Heritage Register as a living resource
The experience of Tasmania starts on the inside. It is the emotional connections and the rich, deep, and sometimes discordant, history that is central to how we and visitors experience Tasmania. Each entry in the Heritage Register ought to provide an insight into the lives of Tasmanians and the stories from past generations. These stories will help amplify the emotional connection to, and experience of, Tasmania's historic heritage. To achieve this, the Heritage Council is working towards: • Delivering an online resource to allow Tasmanians and visitors to our island State to explore the places and stories within the Heritage Register • Creating an opportunity for people to contribute their stories and information on the places • Allowing people to search for heritage places in their community, or to where they are travelling.
We need a common understanding of why these places are significant, and an understanding that by embracing adaptive reuse these places remain as part of Tasmania's evolving lifestyle, and growing visitor economy.

22 TASMANIAN HERITAGE COUNCIL STRATEGIC PLAN 2015-2020 The Tasmanian Collection We need to increase the visibility of Tasmania’s rich historic and cultural heritage and truly embrace the growing interest in history and cultural tourism. At a time when tourists plan their personalised trip online in advance, we need to examine whether it will be possible for an individual to create a truly unique visitor experience, drawing in information from multiple sources. To achieve this, the Heritage Council is working towards: • Exploring the possibility of creating a dynamic, online platform that integrates the digitised collections and registers of the State’s museums and collections, in collaboration with the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery and with assistance from Tourism Tasmania • Providing the opportunity for people to use the platform to search the whole of Tasmania’s cultural and heritage collections, follow their interests, find personal connections, and build their own itineraries • Allowing people to link their individualized itineraries to tour and accommodation booking options throughout the State.
Among the many positives we hope to achieve, is a shift in perception and understanding that Tasmania’s historic heritage has an enduring social and economic value that contributes greatly to our communities and economy.

STRATEGIC PLAN 2015-2020 TASMANIAN HERITAGE COUNCIL 23 Creating Connections GOAL 2: Engage with key stakeholders to shape positive outcomes
Improving and increasing our engagement with the community, owners, government and others with an interest in historic heritage will help us shape positive outcomes. We want to inspire people to recognise the opportunities and contributions they can make towards protecting and sharing Tasmania’s stories and historic heritage. To achieve this, the Heritage Council is working towards: • Creating a long term, sustainable historic heritage network based on collaboration and support, especially for the many generous volunteers who work in this space • Producing comprehensive and practical resources that guide and support owners, developers and site managers on how to approach works to historic heritage places • Coordinating projects that draw on the collective expertise within Tasmania to support the development of policies that will help define the social and economic value of our historic heritage.
The best way for our heritage places to be protected and have a future is for them to be used, appreciated and enjoyed. The greater the level of understanding of the significant values of these places, the greater the level of protection for our heritage.

24 TASMANIAN HERITAGE COUNCIL STRATEGIC PLAN 2015-2020 Improving Connections GOAL 3: Improve effectiveness and efficiency across Tasmania’s historic cultural heritage sector
Tasmania's economic and social environment continues to change, and it is important that the Heritage Council spends time to explore how we can assist and support a sustainable, efficient and effective management system for Tasmania’s historic heritage. Thinking of creative ways to use resources more effectively, and working in partnerships with others to share resourcing, will deliver the best possible value for the Tasmanian community. To achieve this, the Heritage Council is working towards: • Conducting its business and obligations under the Act as effectively and efficiently as possible • Finding links and participating in the broader agendas of the Tasmanian Government • Advocating for the development of an historic heritage strategy, in collaboration and partnerships with government, community organisations and the historic heritage sector.
Looking to the future, we want to grow the social, economic and cultural good that helps create a platform for new heritage and cultural ventures and tourism opportunities.

Independent Auditor’s Report
To Members of the Tasmanian Parliament
Tasmanian Heritage Council
Financial Report for the Year Ended 30 June 2016
Report on the Special Purpose Financial Report
I have audited the accompanying special purpose financial report (the financial report) of Tasmanian Heritage Council (Council), which comprises the statement of financial position as at 30 June 2016 and the statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the year ended on that date, a summary of significant accounting policies, other explanatory notes and the Chairperson’s certification statement.
Auditor’s Opinion
In my opinion the Council’s financial report presents fairly, in all material respects, its financial position as at 30 June 2016, and its financial performance, cash flows and changes in equity for the year then ended.
Basis of Preparation
Without modifying my opinion, I draw attention to Note 1.2 to the financial report, which describes the purpose of the financial report and the basis of preparation. The financial report is a special purpose financial report prepared for the purpose of fulfilling responsibilities under the Historic Cultural Heritage Act 1995. As a result, the financial report may not be suitable for another purpose.
The Responsibility of the Council for the Financial Report
The Council is responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and has determined that the basis of preparation, which is a special purpose framework, is appropriate to meet their financial reporting responsibilities. This responsibility includes establishing and maintaining internal controls relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of the financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies; and making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances.
