The National Trust (NSW) has announced the shortlist for the 2021 National Trust Heritage Awards.

In judging this year’s National Trust Heritage Awards, jury chair Matthew Devine was joined by experts in the field of Aboriginal heritage; built, cultural and landscape conservation; industrial heritage; curatorial and interpretative practice; and history.
