WESTERN Australian businesses have features among the winners at the recent Heritage Council awards.
The Heritage Council introduced the excellence in adaptive reuse award in honour of late council chairman, Gerry Gauntlet, and awarded it to WA-based developer, Match, for its creative work in revitalising a range of sites, including the Inglewood clock tower, Perth city's WD and HO Wills building, also known as Home, and Fremantle's Dalgety Wool Stores.
Match managing director Lloyd Clark said the award was recognition of his firm's attention to detail.
"By being acknowledged with such a high calibre award, together with the string of recent awards our projects have received, we hope to further demonstrate what can be achieved today in design," he said in a statement.
Other winners at the Heritage Council awards were the City of Perth, the Rottnest Island Authority, and Northampton's Loretta Wright.
The City of Perth received accolades for its range of conservation incentives, heritage management and planning, and the Rottnest Island Authority was commended for its dedication to conserving heritage assets on Rottnest. Ms Wright was awarded for her dedication to the management and conservation of the historic Oakabella Homestead.
