Specific Conservation Guidelines - Seeking Public Comment

Members of the public are invited to submit comments to the ACT Heritage Council by Wednesday, 28 September 2011:

Heritage Guidelines: General Conservation Guidelines for Historic Heritage Places

These draft Guidelines provide a consistent and accessible set of requirements to protect and manage historic heritage places (registered, provisionally registered or nominated for provisional registration in the Heritage Register) in the Australian Capital Territory.

These guidelines do not apply to registered heritage precincts for which specific guidelines are already in force. Additional guidelines are in development for Aboriginal Heritage, Natural Heritage and Heritage Objects.

These guidelines directly affect the advice given by the Heritage Council to the ACT Planning and Land Authority about the impact of development applications on heritage significance, particularly in relation to determining ways of avoiding or minimising the effect of a development on the heritage significance of the places and objects.
