A Consultation Paper released in early 2018 sought public views on the effectiveness of the Aboriginal Heritage Act 1972.
The Consultation Paper, released in March 2018, asked for stakeholder views on the effectiveness of the Act, any gaps in the legislation, and ideas on what modernised legislation should set out to do and how it should operate in the interests of all stakeholders.
The Review of the Aboriginal Heritage Act 1972 Consultation Paper, released in March 2018, asked for stakeholder views on the effectiveness of the Act, any gaps in the legislation, and ideas on what modernised legislation should set out to do and how it should operate in the interests of all stakeholders.
The Department held a series of culturally appropriate workshops designed for Aboriginal people. My Heritage, My Voice and Working with Our Aboriginal Heritage workshops were held at locations across the State to enable Aboriginal people to have direct input into the review process.
All workshops were independently facilitated, recorded and transcribed.
Feedback and submissions from this phase of the review were used to develop proposals that were released in a Discussion Paper as part of Phase two consultation.
More than 130 written submissions were received on the Consultation Paper. If you are unable to access a submission, please contact us.
