Dr Andrew Sneddon
Director of Consulting (DoC) – NSW, QLD and NT
“When I fly into Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne, it gives me an enormous sense of satisfaction to look out the window at some of our most important heritage places and think, 'I had a hand in that'.”
Andrew has worked in cultural heritage management for almost 25 years. He is an experienced archaeologist as well as a specialist in native title. He has worked with Aboriginal stakeholders to identify places of cultural heritage significance and has used his past legal experience to transform the information gained through Aboriginal stakeholder engagement into practical town planning outcomes as part of master planning processes.
He has provided heritage inputs into master planning at Penrith Lakes, the Royal North Shore Hospital and the former Prince Henry Hospital at Little Bay. He worked with Aboriginal communities in Doomadgee (Queensland) to refine the design and planning of that expanded township. His projects have included heritage management inputs for the Sydney Opera House, the Sydney Cricket Ground, Old Parliament House (Canberra), Cockatoo Island (Sydney), Garden Island (Sydney), Victoria Barracks (Brisbane), Fremantle Prison, and in Angkor, Cambodia.
