What the results tell us for Cootamundra.
Changes to the listed heritage estate for Cootamundra Shire over the past four years show that:
- one place has been added to the Register of the National Estate (Bradman’s Birthplace Museum),
- No places have been added to the NSW Heritage register or Section 170 heritage list, and
- There are still no places on the Cootamundra Shire Local Environmental Plan (LEP) (although 11 were identified as being on a draft LEP in the 2004 Regional State of the Environment Report).

Heritage places listed on the local environmental plan
There are no places listed under the Cootamundra Shire Local Environmental Plan.
Indigenous heritage
There are no listed Aboriginal Cultural Heritage sites in the Cootamundra Shire Council area.
Condition of known heritage places
No information is available on the condition of heritage sites for the reporting period and little information on condition prior to the reporting period either. The condition of many sites has not been updated since they were listed on the Register of the National Estate.
Resources for heritage identification and management
Although there is an expressed intention to undertake, and funding received from the NSW Heritage Council, a community heritage study over the next two years, it is disappointing to note a lack of progress in establishing a register of all buildings within the Shire area of historical significance. Such a project has been identified by the Shire Council as a gap in their database and could be used to provide information to the public regarding advice on the restoration of heritage buildings.
