Niche welcomes new heritage consultants.

In response to substantial demand from our clients and an extensive portfolio of noteworthy projects in the pipeline, our multidisciplinary consulting team is expanding.

It is with great pride that we welcome new heritage consultants, each motivated to bring best practice solutions to support our clients and their projects, by achieving imaginative solutions that address cultural heritage requirements while also benefiting our communities in NSW, QLD, and VIC.

“Under the leadership of Dr Morgan Disspain (Manager, Heritage NSW & QLD) and Justin Shiner (Manager, Heritage VIC), our heritage team continues to expand along the East Coast of Australia. We are thrilled to welcome additional talented consultants who join us with a shared passion for heritage, as we create positive impacts for our communities.
