Maps of Areas of Cultural Heritage Sensitivity

Under the Aboriginal Heritage Act 2006 a Cultural Heritage Management Plan is required if all or part of the proposed activity is in an area of culture heritage sensitivity, and all, or part of the activity is a high impact activity. The maps provided on the website are intended to assist users to identify areas of cultural heritage sensitivity, as prescribed in Part 2, Division 3 of the Aboriginal Heritage Regulations 2007. Users are advised that these maps provide indicative information about the location and extent of areas of cultural heritage sensitivity. Decisions about the need to prepare a Cultural Heritage Management Plan in relation to a proposed activity should be made with reference to the Aboriginal Heritage regulations.

For a better understanding of the CHMP process read:
