Heritage law in Tasmania
Aboriginal cultural heritage is protected under the Aboriginal Heritage Act 1975. Destroying, damaging or interfering with an Aboriginal relic needs a permit, and finds must be reported. A new Aboriginal Heritage Bill has been drafted, and we keep projects informed as it progresses. Historical heritage is managed under the Historic Cultural Heritage Act 1995.
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.
