| Purpose | Basic principles and procedures to be followed in the conservation of Australian heritage places |
The Burra Charter is a document published by the Australian ICOMOS which defines the basic principles and procedures to be followed in the conservation of Australian heritage places.[1] The Charter was first endorsed in 1979 as an Australian adaptation of the Venice Charter, but with the introduction of a new analytical conservation model of heritage assessment[2] that recognised forms of cultural heritage beyond tangible and physical forms.[3] The Charter was the first national heritage document to replace the Venice Charter as the basis of national heritage practice.[4] The Charter has been revised on four occasions since 1979, and has been internationally influential in providing standard guidelines for heritage conservation practice.[5]
