1. Australia ICOMOS – Canberra Talk Series
Have your say – Review of the ACT Heritage Act
Duncan Marshall
The ACT Heritage Act 2004 is being reviewed. The Act came into force in 2005 as the ACT’s primary legislation dealing with the identification, protection and conservation of the Territory’s heritage places and objects. The Act includes a provision for a review of the legislation after five years of operation.
The consultant undertaking the review, Duncan Marshall, is keen to hear from a wide range of people and organisations with an interest in the operations of the Act. This session will be an opportunity for anyone to raise issues and promote suggestions about the future for the Act.
Members and the public are welcome. Refreshments will be available. This is part of a series of talks organised in Canberra by Australia ICOMOS.
Time & Date: 5.00-6.30pm, Thursday 24 June – the session will actually start at 5.30.
Venue: Menzies Room, National Archives of Australia, East Block, Queen Victoria Terrace, Parkes (enter from Kings Avenue side).
RSVP: To Marilyn Truscott
