     5.4.  Contemporary community stakeholders

  Old Parliament House is one of a number of heritage-listed properties in the region and one of many important buildings in the local environment. There are a number of organisations and partnerships that work together to foster an appreciation of, and improved management outcomes for, cultural heritage in the region. Old Parliament House maintains an active role in these organisations, in order to pursue continuous improvement in the management of heritage properties and to enhance the capacity and skills of people involved in the management of heritage places within the region.

  The Old Parliament House management acknowledges that the community, and particularly the volunteers and associates of the place, contribute significantly to its living history and help keep it alive. In 2020 Old Parliament House has over 90 active volunteers. In 2018 a new youth volunteer program was launched to complement the existing volunteer guide program. The youth program targets those aged 18–25 years and provides volunteers with opportunities to support special events and to engage with visitors in exhibitions. Volunteers and associates are crucial to the informed interpretation and management of the place.

  Old Parliament House continues to strengthen its ties with existing associates and to foster relationships with new audiences. Community connections inform the interpretation and management of the place.
