| Abstract | ||||
| The last few decades, services delivery has witnessed a great shift from the public to the private sector. This shift has been fueled by the increasing movement of deregulation and privatisation which has paved the pathway for remarkable interventions by the private sector in the market. One theme of these interventions is the Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) which have used to deliver infrastructure projects and social services. Built heritage is another area where the private interference can be recognisable, although there are a few examples of PPP in heritage conservation over the globe; however, the Quarantine Station, Australia, is one of those exceptions. It offers ample opportunities for a deep and broad understanding of different issues highly associated with PPPs. The outcomes generated from the research and the case study match with the well-established argument that the results of PPPs are mixed and contested and any intention to give a precise and conclusive evaluation of PPPs in heritage conservation would be elusive. | ||||
