The ACT Government is seeking your input to the development of a five year ACT Heritage Strategy and the consultation process is closing soon, Minister for Planning and Land Management, Mick Gentleman announced today.
The strategy will set a clear direction for the recognition, protection, conservation and promotion of our heritage.
“Our heritage places and objects provide us with a sense of pride, place, identity, and belonging. They are important in helping us to understand the past that has shaped us, and are important in our considerations for the future,” Minister Gentleman said.
The ACT Government is collaborating with the community to:
- emphasise what’s important about our heritage places and objects
- reshape the way the community and visitors think about and engage with our heritage
- refocus resources to ensure that the highest priority areas receive the greatest attention.
“The strategy will be founded on the aspirations and interests of the community, so it will be a true reflection of your heritage. Your feedback is important to us and we want you to get involved,” Minister Gentleman concluded.

Following the period of public consultation, a draft strategy will be prepared for further community comment prior to its finalisation later this year.
Consultation closes Tuesday 29 March.
