The committee meets six times a year to provide strategic guidance and advice to council on built, Aboriginal and natural cultural heritage issues to ensure that Bendigo's precious heritage assets continue to contribute to the city.
Mayor Jennifer Alden said heritage was very important to Bendigo's liveability, identity and economy, and the committee played an important role.

"The Heritage Advisory Committee provides valuable support to council by providing advice on the challenges and opportunities for heritage protection, management and promotion in our city," Cr Alden said.
"Recent agenda items for the Heritage Advisory Committee have included the Victorian Miners' Housing Study, future of Golden Dragon Museum, City heritage collections plan and the Bendigo Creek Project.
"A key future project for the new committee will be to have input into the Council's Heritage Strategy."
Expressions of interest are sought from individuals with a background, interest or involvement in heritage and conservation issues across Greater Bendigo. Council encourages applications from people with diverse cultural backgrounds and people of all abilities.
"We are looking for people who are passionate about heritage or who work with heritage that can contribute great ideas and review Council's strategic documents to ensure heritage issues are considered," Cr Alden said.
Applications close on Friday, October 15. For more information visit https://bendigo.vic.gov.au/heritagecommittee or email strategic.planning@bendigo.vic.gov.au
