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.
