Engineering Heritage Recognition Program (EHRP) Markers

Engineers Australia established the Australian Historic Engineering Plaquing Program in 1984 as a means of bringing public recognition to engineering works of historic or heritage significance and to the engineers who created them.

This program is now called the Engineering Heritage Recognition Program. The purpose of the Program is to encourage conservation of Australian engineering heritage and to raise community awareness of engineering and the benefits it provides.

Western Australian places that have been recognised under this program are listed below. Here is a map showing the locations of all these special sites You can click on the map for further details and links to the pages that describe their special features and directions on how to get there.
