Orientation
This page explains what the project is, what it is not, and how visitors can use the materials gathered here. It should help visitors understand that Accord Building is a learning commons and public workbench for Australian heritage conflict, not a professional services page or a source of legal advice.
Key proposition
Accord Building begins from a simple proposition: law matters, but law does not answer the whole field of conflict. Nor does planning, expertise, activism, consultation, market logic, or mediation. Heritage conflict often becomes difficult because several fields are active at once, and each may be pressing for recognition.
Boundaries
This page introduces the project’s boundaries, including:
- we do not provide legal advice;
- we do not provide heritage assessments;
- we do not claim cultural authority;
- we do not speak in place of Traditional Owners, communities, advocates, or affected people;
- we do not treat mediation as the automatic answer to heritage conflict;
- we are developing the work carefully and publicly over time.
Using this section
Visitors can use this section of the site in several ways: by following the eight-unit Learning Commons, reading case and source materials, exploring practice tools, or following the Project Journal as the work develops.
