Revision of the Burra Charter
The Burra Charter was first adopted in 1979 at the
historic South Australian mining town of Burra.
Minor revisions were made in 1981 and 1988, with
more substantial changes in 1999.
Following a review this version was adopted by
Australia ICOMOS in October 2013.
The review process included replacement of the
1988 Guidelines to the Burra Charter with Practice
Notes which are available at: australia.icomos.org
Australia ICOMOS documents are periodically
reviewed and we welcome any comments.
