Read about the 40 outstanding individuals and projects that have been named as finalists in the 2020 WA Heritage Awards.

On 18 March 2020, the judging panel met to choose the finalists for the 2020 Western Australian Heritage Awards. This year, 40 finalists were chosen across seven diverse categories. The high standard of the finalists chosen highlights the world-class work being undertaken in Western Australia in the areas of conservation and adaptive reuse, as well as the innovative work being undertaken in interpretation and heritage tourism.
