Council is strengthening local planning policy on Aboriginal cultural heritage to better reflect Council’s obligation to identify, assess and document places of historic cultural and social significance.

This will include strategies such as:

  • Identifying, assessing and documenting places of Aboriginal cultural heritage significance, in consultation with relevant Registered Aboriginal Parties.
  • Supporting urban design and development that reflects Aboriginal stories, values and perspectives in the built and natural environment.
