Heritage Day is a beautiful reminder of our rich culture, diverse communities, and the stunning old homes that tell the stories of our past. Many charming towns in our country encapsulate this sense of community and proud South African heritage. One such gem is Hermanus. Once a small fishing village in the 1800s, Hermanus (short for Hermanuspietersfontein) received its official municipality status 120 years ago in 1904. Its vibrant history and cultural influences create a unique tapestry that enriches our lives. For those considering property investment, Hermanus offers more than just breathtaking views and nature. It’s an opportunity to join a community that values its heritage. The architecture here ranges from traditional thatched-roof homes to modern residences, showcasing our nation’s cultural richness. As we celebrate Heritage Day, let’s remember: our homes are more than just structures; they embody our history and culture. Investing in property in Hermanus means embracing a legacy that honors the past while looking towards a vibrant future. Happy Heritage Day 2024. ????

At the rate historic structures and sites are being demolished to “give way to development,” it is important for communities to realize that significant edifices and sites in their neighborhood are part of their heritage. This is where landscapes and memories unite. And here, communities should recognize that they own these. The key is always value. And in heritage preservation, there are several aspects to consider when defining what should be understood where tradition, regionality, and identity are concerned.

Did you know that all our project/work areas must be assessed for potential heritage values and impacts prior to construction? Heritage is a term used to refer to the legacy of the past that is inherited, lived with, and passed on to future generations. There are both tangible and intangible components of heritage. It can feature objects, places, buildings, languages, practices, and traditions which have special architectural, historical, natural, scientific, and cultural significance or value. Heritage provides a link between the past, present, and future and works to preserve the identity of a place or culture. In Western Australia we typically encounter two types of heritage – Aboriginal Heritage and Historic (or European) Heritage. In our approach to heritage, Main Roads adheres to the Aboriginal Heritage Act 1972 and the Heritage Act 2018 respectively. We place importance on assessing the risk of any potential heritage impact early in a project’s planning stages with the aim to identify and avoid or minimise harm to heritage.
