Trust News
Four publications were produced this year. The magazine is now recognised as the key heritage publication in Western Australia, providing a broad range of articles and features reflecting the Trust's holistic approach to heritage.
Issues of the magazine have been used as a promotional tool for use in high-level and public meetings for the purpose of describing new projects of the Trust including the Golden Pipeline Project and the Luisini's Winery Project.
Memo to Members
This magazine has undergone development from a wrap-around mailing sheet for the Trust News to a substantial booklet detailing administrative and activity information to Members. The booklet is produced in-house by Trust staff to minimise Members' costs. In it Members receive more specific information about Trust affairs with news from the Chief Executive Officer concerning Trust properties, forthcoming activities and announcements regarding other heritage organisations.
Volunteer Service Recognition
The National Trust recognises the dedication and commitment of its volunteers through a series of awards and recognition for members and other community volunteers to highlight voluntary services to conservation and interpretation of Western Australia's heritage.
