Brisbane heritage consultancy
Heritage advice grounded in place.
Based in Brisbane, Orton Heritage works with owners, architects, planners and project teams across Queensland and Northern New South Wales.
We combine architectural understanding, historical research and clear planning advice to make heritage requirements easier to navigate — from early design thinking and Heritage Impact Statements through to approvals, documentation and conservation works.

Conservation and change are not opposites.
Good heritage outcomes come from understanding what matters, why it matters, and where change can occur without diminishing significance.
Our role is to make that understanding useful — for clients, design teams and decision-makers — so that heritage considerations become part of the project rather than an obstacle at the end.
Places and context
Buildings are only part of the story.
Setting, landscape, use, history and relationships between elements all contribute to how a place is understood.
We look beyond isolated fabric to consider the broader context of a place, helping projects respond to heritage values in a way that is practical, proportionate and clearly explained.
