"Conservation and Heritage is not about putting everything back into a sparking new shell but acknowledging the layers of history that have come to define a space."

The Melaka World Heritage Site Management Plan identifies what is significant about the World Heritage Site, recognizes challenges and threats, and sets out policies to preserve and enhance the Site.

Having a conservation management plan (CMP) is crucial as it is an important tool in caring for a very unique and diverse tangible and intangible heritage that Melaka inherits from its previous glorious years. This document provides a guide to future care and use, including facilitating any new development within the Conservation Area.


Melaka Historical City Council will use the management plan to help protect the Site's special qualities and promote best practice. The Plan will enable those involved in developing the city centre to consider the protection and enhancement of the World Heritage Site at an early stage in the planning process. For everyone the plan will promote awareness of the World Heritage Site and encourage involvement in its management.
