Review of the Heritage Act 2004
The ACT Heritage Act requires that the operations of the Act be reviewed after five years of operation. That period finished on 9 March 2010, with the Government required to provide the review to the Legislative Assembly within six months.
In March 2010, the Minister for Arts and Heritage released a discussion paper and called for public submissions from interested stakeholders. 39 submissions were received in response to the discussion paper.
Heritage consultant, Mr Duncan Marshall, was engaged to lead the review, to undertake community consultation and to prepare a report. The consultant subsequently held 36 stakeholder meetings and workshops.
Mr Marshall's report contains 111 recommendations, which build on the framework and achievements of the existing system, and seek to deliver a more strategic and transparent approach to heritage matters.
The ACT Government is currently considering the consultant's findings and recommendations, and is in the process of preparing its response.
