About the plaques program
Discover the stories behind our State’s heritage places!
The Heritage Council of Western Australia (HCWA) provides plaques to highlight and celebrate the unique places listed on the State Register of Heritage Places.
HCWA has recently redesigned the plaques to be more recognisable with national and international plaque programs. Blue plaques are the indicator of a heritage place in many parts of Australia and the globe, including New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia, the United Kingdom and Norway.
The new design incorporates a bespoke design by esteemed Aboriginal artist and Noongar Elder, Dr Richard Walley OAM, and features an acknowledgement of the Aboriginal Country on which the place is located. Each plaque includes a QR code that links to information on the place including a brief history and image gallery.
