Following Heartlands' £22 million BIG Lottery success, work has commenced to develop the project into a real community winner. The design teams have been preparing details of the park, new buildings, infrastructure and historic building restorations ready for the nominated contractor to begin construction work in January 2009. Already preparation work has begun on the site and the project team has taken up residence in the old compressor house at Robinsons Shaft.

Kerrier District Council is the accountable body to receive the Lottery Grant and develop the project, working with a special partnership including Carn Brea Parish Council, the Homes and Communities Agency, Carn Brea Regeneration Advisory Committee, CPR Regeneration, Cornwall County Council and the World Heritage Site Partnership.

Over the next year an independant trust will be set up to hold and manage the assets of Heartlands.
