Résumé en anglais

Opportunities to present and re-use heritage places to achieve both conservation and economic benefits may sometimes be constrained by a lack of imagination, inventiveness and resourcefulness. This paper explores the notion that creative thinking about, and engagements with, heritage places can foster community attachments and enrich visitor experiences in balance with financial returns. Considering Montague Island, Kurnell, La Perouse and Goat Island in the context of National Parks in the Australian State of New South Wales we recognise that nature is a dominant attraction for visitors. We draw on a concentric circles model to show that with nature-culture at the core, significant heritage places, inclusive of their landscape settings, can be developed and presented to satisfy conservation objectives, to shape new forms of cultural identity and stimulate economic growth. We argue that even relatively modest financial investments in research, planning, consultation and facilities can provide cultural and commercial benefits.
