Heritage law in New South Wales
Aboriginal cultural heritage is protected under the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1974. Harming an Aboriginal object or place is an offence unless it is authorised, usually by an Aboriginal Heritage Impact Permit. Following the due diligence code of practice is how a land user shows they took reasonable steps. Historical heritage is managed under the Heritage Act 1977.
World, National and Commonwealth Heritage places, including those listed for natural values, are protected under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999, and shipwrecks and other underwater heritage under the Underwater Cultural Heritage Act 2018. Local heritage is managed through council planning schemes. Project approvals and agreements may add further conditions, and we check them for each job.
