Heritage Profiles
Marlborough District Council works with the New Zealand Historic Places
Trust, Tangata Whenua, and the local community (including stakeholders, land
owners, community members and other organisations) to identify heritage
resources and trees and where appropriate, provide protection for them.
This is achieved by maintaining a Register of Significant Heritage Resources, contained within Marlborough's Resource Management Plans.
These profiles are a selection from Council's Register to provide further information on some of the heritage buildings, sites and places in Marlborough.
To view the entire Register:
