New and Existing buildings that are not historically significant, for example, a supermarket, require properly specified and installed Fire Rated systems, however this is purely a matter of financial and safety concerns, for owners, builders and specifiers. For Historically Significant buildings, another aspect is also involved, maintaining the aesthetics of the building accurately, whilst still maintaining fire protection.

Australia has a rich history of building design, as is immediately evident when one travels through any major city. From intricate churches, to homes, to pubs and commercial buildings, one thing they all have in common. Eventually they will need repairs or extensions. Heritage Listings are designed to maintain the aesthetics and cultural importance of Historically Significant buildings.
