This foundational volume in urban planning and heritage conservation presents a rigorous assessment of Launceston’s architectural and historical assets as of the late 1970s. Commissioned by the City Architect & Planner’s Department, the study documents the city’s built environment with precision, identifying structures of national, state, and local significance. It argues for the urgent need to preserve Launceston’s unique colonial and Victorian-era fabric amid mounting development pressures. The report outlines conservation priorities, planning strategies, and policy recommendations grounded in historical, aesthetic, and cultural criteria. As a primary source in Australian heritage policy history, it offers critical insight into the evolution of municipal preservation frameworks and the civic values that shaped them.
